The document describes the parts of a compass and how to use it to orient a map. It lists the cardinal directions, compass parts like the baseplate, scales, and direction arrow. It provides steps to match the compass and map orientation, draw a line between start and end points, and read the direction in degrees at the bear point using cardinal directions. Orienting the map involves matching the norths of the map and dial and turning the map until the red needle matches both norths.

1.DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THE START POINT
AND THE FINAL SPOT.
2.MATCH THE CENTER OF THE COMPASS
AND THE START POINT.
3.MATCH THE DIRECTION ARROW WITH THE
LINE POINTING AT THE FINAL SPOT.
4.MATCH THE DIAL'S NORTH WITH THE MAP'S
