Therefore, grid azimuth endobj
Magnetic North - based on the earth's magnetic field, and is used to describe compass direction. Draw an arrow for Grid North using an exaggerated angle east or west of True North showing the grid convergence angle (be sure of the sign convention of the grid convergence value used, for example does a west convergence angle put Grid North west of True North or visa versa?). Resection is the method of locating ones position on a map by determining the grid azimuth to at least two well-defined locations that can be pinpointed on the map. A circle equals 6400 mils divided by 360 degrees, or 17.78 mils per degree. Grid north may be symbolized by the letters GN or the letter y (Figure 6-1). How to convert magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth, The how to convert magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth is a question that may be asked in the context of travel. Figure 6-16.

or Look up "LARS." To express direction as a unit of angular measure, there must be a starting point or zero measure and a point of reference These two points designate the base or reference line. Azimuths It is an arc, indicated by a dashed line, that connects the grid-north and magnetic-north prongs. degrees nor less than 0 degrees as that range is the range of a The grad is divided into 100centesimal minutes (centigrads) and the minute into 100 centesimal seconds (milligrads). Once accurate magnetic declination and grid convergence angles are acquired, all that is needed to change reference systems is to add or subtract these angles from one another. 3 0 obj
This means how to measure a direction - or azimuth - on your map and Draw an arrow pointing east (azimuth of 90) for an arbitrary borehole azimuth reference. one that is between zero and 360 degrees. Introduction to Land Navigation.pdf - UNC Charlotte Army ROTC (6) The intersection of the lines on the map is the location of the unknown point (C). This is a direct result of the grid north lines being parallel with each other. The directional software packages will at minimum handle UTM and Lambert conformal conic convergence. I really hate to stir the pot but--. a. endobj b. To start, what is your goal? Remember, there are no negative azimuths on the azimuth circle. endstream

Therefore, there is a value, shown here in blue, called convergence.
