How to Use a Compass to Navigate -- powered by eHow.com
"Hi, this is John Stewart, and this is how to use a _____________ (1). There is many different types and styles of compasses, but you can use a very basic one, and find your _____________ (2) , anytime you need to. There's many different things on a compass that you need to know about, for you to be able to use it. The first thing is the dial. On all compasses, there is going to be a dial, that's going to spin __________(3) degrees, a complete circle. In the center of your compass, there's going to be two ____________ (4) . One is ___________ (5), and one is white. They point the opposite direction of each other. On the dial that spins around, there's going to be a red arrow also. This is going to come in handy, for lining up, and getting your direct measurements. On the outer edges of your compass, there are going to be measurements. Half inch, quarter inch, one inch, and centimeter measurements. These are going to be there, for when you're marking your distances, according to how a map is read. A map might say that one inch is ten miles, so you can use your compass, to measure out the mileage that you're expecting to have to hike, but how to use the compass, is very easy. Find your bearing. Say, you want to go twenty four _____________ (6). You're going to take, and put the dial on twenty four degrees. Spin the dial, to where both red arrows line up. Once the arrows line up, you're going to walk that direction, and it's going to point you in the right way of going twenty four degrees, and that's how it is to use a compass."
