Using your Compass with a Map - Introduction

Introductory video in a series on how to use your compass with a map.
thank you! Very useful for my introductory archeology course.
This is a great video explaining UTMs and how to set up your GPS, but if you really want to be as accurate as possible, why not just use a set of calibers and measure in mm how far you are from the grid line and multiply that by 24 because every mm on a 1:24000 scale map would be equal to 24 meters on the ground. In your example you could have divided 174 by 24=7.25 so on the map the spot would be 7.25mm from the 319 grid line and from the 4145 grid line take the 312 divide by 24 to give you 13mm from the 4145 grid line. To me you can't get much more precise than measuring in mm. To go from GPS to map divide remaining numbers after grid line by 24. To go from map to GPS measure spot on map in mm from grid line then multiply by 24 to get meters for coordinates.
Your technique would totally work. But imagine you are in the field; it's dark and raining. You are tired, wet, and cold, should you be dividing by 24 and then measuring in millimeters with your calipers?

Animations are superb and make this the clearest explanation I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for a clear explanation of this system. I was wondering how one set of coordinates contained more numbers than the other. I now understand how this is , because of your plain, uncomplicated , explanation. Thanks again.
Good Video. Thanks
Thanks man. You sell some really good quality protractors. I love mine. It’s laminated on both sides so the numbers and markings don’t wear off and is very strong yet flexible. The best I’ve found and for a very reasonable price
Thanks so much !
Great video ! We learned "read right, up" although the "cat" is easy to remember.
Thanks very helpful
Thanks John for your videos. I just received my Super GTA MapTools grid reader in the mail today. Very helpful information sent with the grid reader for new people learning to read Topo maps.
Thank you very much
Brilliant tutorial, very well explained and easy to understand.... Well done !
right on. great helpful work!
4:09 There the blue arrow GN points parallel to the inclined Grid, and the TN green arrow parallels the edge of the map. Should it be like that or should the markings be re-rolled? On Swedish maps, GN is always parallel to the edge of the map, and TN is inclined. So the lines that incline are the meridians that point towards TN.
It's up to the cartographer to decide if the vertical edge of the map is aligned with one of the three north references; true, grid, or magnetic. Occasionally, usually to get an odd shaped area to fit a rectangular sheet, none of the norths are at the top of the page. Most of the USGS map series are divided into sheets using latitude and longitude intervals, so it's natural to aline the vertical edges with True North. Many military maps have edges that are are aligned with Grid North. It sounds like the Swedes have decided to align their map edges with Grid North. As a navigator, you need to check the maps you are using in order to understand which lines and edges can be used for referencing the various possible north references.
Thanks John, I will be using this video from time to time. Keep them coming thanks.
Interesting!
Mate this helped me out heaps! Haven’t used maps in ages but this was a good reminder. Thanks!
Thanks from Iraq🌹
Hello sir! I have some questions about coordinates. May you help me?
You've explained this very clearly. Thanks.
Good stuff!
Excellent
Exactly what I needed! Thank you :)
found you on amazon (bought the gird square tool) checked out your site and got me here. thanks for the info!
Very well explained! A little tip from using the UTM grid in the (German) military: in order not to confuse N/E (first go up/down or left/right on the grid?), imagine a cat: the cat runs first TO a tree (i.e. first group of coordinates is horizontal direction), then the cat climbs UP the tree (i.e. the second group of coordinates is vertical direction).
In the US Army, we say “right up your ass” Right Easting/ Up Northern
Easier way: 1. GRID MARK (33, 34, etc..), 2. SQUARE MARK (T, WL, WK...), 3. VERTICAL NUMBER, 4.HORINZONTAL DISTANCE 5. HORIZONTAL NUMBER 6.VERTICAL DISTANCE
I love this cat analogy!
Thank you for providing this clear and simple instruction. 👍
Just awesome!! Thank you!!
What a gangsta Just walks off like it anit nothing at the end of the video.
Thanks.
Great tools and videos!
Your Father exposed you to the best life has to offer...... Praise to that man for doing so...... What a cool adventure..... Thanks for sharing....

Want to parse 1Q 433568 m 1978405 m to lang long in iOS app . Is it doable ?
thankssir
thanks for sharing this. very helpful
Why is it you don't use the 8 digit grid like the military is it because of the GPS ? And will a military protractor work?
The 6 and 8 digit Military Grid Reference System coordinates are just abbreviations of UTM coordinates. Learn UTM and rest follow easily. A military protractor will work just fine. At the root of it, your just measuring distance on a map in meters.
Amazing.. need more videos like it
I still watch the video to refresh. I love this stuff💪
Great video. My $100 order is on its way, can't wait.
Why all topography map E or N what been West and south pilz any one give me answer
The UTM Coordinate System is similar the common cartesian (xy) coordinate system used in mathematics. The X axis increases from left to right and the Y axis increases from bottom to top. That corresponds to the UTM easting increasing from west to east and the northing increasing from south to north.
Thank you sir
I am from Nepal very thank you.
I am Nepal army
well done, and a life well lived. It seems so familiar to me, having grown up in a similar fashion. My father was born in 1932. I remember similar adventures growing up. Wonderful...
Great tools and quality is excellent
I had always made my own longitude scale from the corner of the map. This is a neat trick.
Very interesting video. I very rarely use lat. long. coordinates because to difficult to measure and count with. You bring me an other view on this problem. And what i see, it seems to be very easy. Now i just need try to find such a ruler and practicing these procedure.
I have a suunto mc2 usgs model. What are the scales on the side of the cover for?
They look to be contour line spacing for various slope angles.
Fun little test. Thanks for sharing that!
I love using this tool.
Great sir. Very informative video..
I want Gps which is showing this video sir 9393237141(W)
