FM/BG-1269.V1.01 - Using map tools to accurately determine an azimuth and distance

Map tools can be used to more accurately determine azimuth and distance. To do so, follow the procedure:

  1. Deploy the appropriate map tool.
  2. Move the centre dot to the first point.
  3. Rotate the tool to align the lead line with the second point.
  4. Read the azimuth in degrees or mils.
  5. Align the 0 mark of the ruler with the first point.
  6. Measure the distance in meters to the second point.

You now have an accurate azimuth and distance.
