FAQ
How to Navigate Without or With a Compass
A compass doesn't tell you where you are going, but it does help you find your way back home if you lose your bearings.
There are three methods you can use to navigate.
-
By landmarks
-
By magnetic North (using an compass).
-
By stars
Landmarks are objects that you recognize when you see them. They can include buildings, trees, rivers, and others. Landmarks can be useful because they are a visual indicator of where you're at.
Magnetic North is simply the direction in which the Earth's magnetic field points. If you look at the sky, the sun appears like it's moving across the sky. However, the earth's magnetic field actually causes the sun to move around the earth. So, while the sun seems to move across the sky, it really moves around the horizon. At noon the sun is directly overhead. At midnight, the sun is directly below you. The magnetic field on the earth changes daily, so the direction of the North pole's magnetic North pole can change every day. This can mean that you could be off track for a few days.
Another method of navigation is to use stars. The stars appear to rise or set above the horizon. These are fixed points that can be used to pinpoint your location relative other locations.
