Make sure Direction of Travel arrow points towards your destination. Turn the compass housing until the red part of the north/south arrow is parallel with the map meridians and points north on the map. Lift your compass from the map and hold it horizontally in your hand. Turn yourself and the compass until the red end of the needle is inside the red north/ south arrow. Now the direction of travel arrow will point towards your destination. Take a landmark and start moving. Enjoy! NOTE: If using a mirror-sighting compass: angle the mirror/lid approximately 45 degrees towards yourself and hold with straight arm out in front of you. Now, while looking in the mirror to see that the needle aligns with the red/black N/S arrow, sight above the mirror (using the sight) towards an object in the field in line with the direction of travel Learn About Silva Balacing Zones: The Earth and its magnetic zones work in mysterious ways, and to navigate accurately you need to make sure you have a compass for the place where you are at the moment. Different compasses work for different parts of the world. Hence be aware if you plan for an adventure on the other side of the world! There are three different balancing zones for compasses: Magnetic Equator (ME), Magnetic North (MN) and Magnetic South (MS). However, at Silva we also have global compasses that works in any magnetic zone.
