how to read a compass
First of all, the compass has directions written in English abbreviations, such as East (E) for East, West (W) for West, North (N) for North, and South (S) for South. It’s a very basic word, so I don’t think there are people who don’t know it. 나침반 보는법
In fact, if you know the above directions, you have learned how to read the compass. The needle of a compass always points north and south due to magnetism. Some compass needles have bearing marks, but in most cases, half of the compass needle is painted red. 좋은뉴스
The direction the needle painted in red is pointing is north, but then the opposite direction is south, so reading the compass is a natural solution.
Map view with compass
If you know how to read a compass, finding directions on a map is not that difficult.
In order to find the exact location with only a compass and map, you need to learn the Dokdo method, but these days, you can easily find the location using a smartphone using various maps and navigation applications provided on the Internet, so I will explain only the method.
Maps often use 4 directions, and you can easily find the north on a map by using 4 directions. It is called Dobuk. The compass needle always points north, so if you align the magnetic north of the compass with the project north on the map, you can roughly find the direction you want to go.
Of course, since there is a deviation of 6 degrees 30 minutes between magnetic north and project north, if you want to find an accurate location, you need to point the compass needle in the direction of 6 degrees 30 minutes west of the north on the map to find the exact location.
Check the compass on your smartphone
To easily check the compass with your smartphone, you can download and use an application called Naver Map. I’ve been told that it’s Naver Map, but it doesn’t matter if you use any app because it supports several map applications in Korea. Even if you don’t have to look at the compass, it’s convenient because it tells you the location through GPS.
Also, since you don’t usually carry a compass these days, please check it with your smartphone. The actual compass is more accurate, but there is no problem using a smartphone compass.
When you look at the compass, the basic thing is to lay the compass horizontally, and the red needle should point to N, that is, the north direction.
To make it easier and more accurate, place the compass on the map at the 4 directions indicated on the map and place it in the same direction to the north, you can check the location a little more accurately.
