Examples of plotting and measuring bearings on a map.

A custom declination and grid variance diagram.

(or combined magnetic declination and grid variance).

A small scale map showing both UTM zone boundaries and lines of constant magnetic declination.

We'll figure out the current magnetic declination and Make some choices about what north references you want to use. Put in the zip code or lat/lon for a location and There is also a page that makes custom declination reference sheets. Part Id: NorthRefSheet, Made in United States If you want to use the handout for your class, they are available for less than it would cost Or you can download the pdf file and take a look.

I will send you one for free with your order if you wish. I turned this into a 4 page, half sheet handout on North References.

I've put a lot of thought into how to teach this, and tried many different techniques. Teaching folks about the different North References, when to use them, and how to convert between them has beenĪ lot of students come in with lots of confusion and sometimes even incorrect information on this topic. Here is a page with more about these tools. We also have large classroom training aids made for several styles of our tools. Here is a link to a page with our Plotting UTM Coordinates with a Grid Tool video, our tutorials, exercises, and presentation materials. Using our tools to plot and measure UTM, MGRS, USNG, and other metric grid coordinate systems If in doubt about what the slide should look like, see the pdf version. The Power Point export feature is not 100% perfect. I'm also including versions exported for Microsoft Power Point and as Adobe pdfs. I use Apple's Keynote to build my presentations. He serves as my reminder that its time to You will occasionally see the 'Handout Dude' in my slides. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area this is a great way to learn or improve on your navigation skills. I teach a Wilderness Navigation Class at West Valley College for the Parks Management Department. Please point your students to my web site, for their coordinate plotting needs.Please don't ask me to make changes for you.Please share your improvements with me.I have put a huge amount of effort in these resources over Suite the need of your class and your teaching style. You are welcome to modify these material to Presentation materials that you may find useful when you teach. I have been teaching wilderness navigation and GPS use for more than a decade.
