Find your location on a map & identify features

Being able to locate your position and identify a ground feature on a map and, if necessary, adjusting for declination, are important skills all navigators should have.
In this video I have used a Cammenga lensatic compass but this technique will work with any reasonable quality compass. If you are using a baseplate compass:- where I have used the tritium mark use the orienting arrow.

Please note there is an error on the video. At around 2:35 I say that you should rotate the dial anti-clockwise if your declination is west, however this would be the case if you were taking a bearing from a map and using it to look for a ground feature (grid to mag). In the video I’m taking a bearing from a feature and using this bearing on a map (mag to grid) so you should rotate the dial clockwise.

Thanks to Rick Panyk for spotting my error and letting me know.
