  1. Uncontrolled copy not subject to amendment Basic Navigation Using Map and Compass

  2. Basic Navigation Using Map and Compass Learning Outcome 1: Be able to show the different types of North

  3. True / Grid / Magnetic North • True Northand South are at the geographical poles. • Grid Northis the direction to which all Ordnance Survey Maps are orientated. We take our map bearings using Grid North. • Magnetic Northis the direction a compass points to and in the UK it is located approximately 4º West of Grid North.

  4. Grid Magnetic Angle • It is important to understand the relationship between Magnetic (Mag) North and Grid North as this will become important when we start to convert bearings to and from a map. Grid North True North Magnetic North Grid Magnetic Angle (4º)

  5. Grid Magnetic Angle • The difference in degrees between Magnetic (Mag)North and Grid North is referred to as the Grid Magnetic Angle (usually 4º West in UK). Grid North True North Magnetic North Grid Magnetic Angle (4º)

  6. Magnetic Variation • The difference in degrees between Magnetic (Mag)North and True North is referred to as the Magnetic Variation (this is not usually used for navigation). Grid North True North Magnetic North Magnetic Variation

  7. Magnetic North The 3 North Poles as shown on an OS map

  8. Magnetic North
