1. Triangulation
 Triangulation is used when someone is trying to determine
where they are on a map.
 Local maps with lower scales are better for triangulation in
which distinct objects used for bearings are close together.
 Usually mountain and hill peaks are best for using
triangulation to determine location.

2.  When picking distinct objects one can see for triangulation, you
must make sure these objects are clear on the map as well
 Also when bearings are taken they must be at least 60 degrees
apart
 Lay the compass on the map and draw a line for each bearing
 When drawing the line, make sure the edge of the compass is close
to the landmark
 Also make sure the orienting arrows on the compass are parallel to
the maps north south meridian lines

3.  See where the lines intersect
 This is where your location is
 For a more accurate triangulation you can see three distinct
features, which are also on a map, you can get the bearings
from three features or objects
 Then transfer the three lines too a map and find where they
intersect

5.  In the previous photo, three bearings are taken using three
different high elevations, seen as peaks on the map by
contour lines, than the lines are used to get the location.
 Note that this triangulation would not be possible, if one of
these peaks are not visible, as well if there are multiple peaks
are around on the map, you have to be careful when
transferring the bearing from real life to the map.
