HOW TO USE YOUR COMPASS
1
Hold it flat at waist height. Needle floats — don't tilt!
2
Let the needle settle. RED end always points NORTH.
3
Rotate the bezel until "N" lines up with the RED needle.
4
Read your bearing: Direction-of-travel arrow meets bezel = heading (0°=N, 90°=E, 180°=S, 270°=W).
5
Navigate to waypoint: Set target on bezel, rotate BODY until red needle sits in orienting arrow ("red in the shed"). Walk!
6
Pace counting: Each pair of steps ≈ 5 feet. Count paces between waypoints.
