how to read a compass

It is not used these days, but until a few hundred years ago, it is said that the compass was used to determine the direction and traveled long distances. Currently, the electronic compass, which is GPS, has been used due to radio waves from artificial satellites, rather than analog compasses.

Still, there are still places where radio waves don’t reach well, such as analog things or mountains or remote places. In addition, there may be a battery or mechanical defect, so those who do mountain climbing are said to carry a compass. It would be good to know how to read a compass even if you are not hiking. 나침반 보는법

 

Before you know how to read a compass, it is a good idea to use a map with your compass. 좋은뉴스

 

 

 

Lay out the map on a level surface, such as a table, and keep the compass with you. The compass will wobble. After a while, you should stop and take a good look at the pointing needle of the compass.

 

 

Most compass needles are half blue and half red. The red needle points to the north. When the needle of the compass stops, turn the compass little by little to set the red needle point to N. It is easy to check the direction.

If you align the north on the map with the north on the compass, you will be able to see the map and know which direction to go to get to your destination.

 

 

In addition, it is important to make sure that there are no metals or magnets around that can affect the compass for a more accurate compass reading. If you put a map on a wooden table and use it, you can see it accurately, right?

 

 

 

Today we learned how to read a compass. There is also a compass application among smartphone applications, so if it is difficult to obtain a compass, it would be nice to install the application and check it.
