Used to take distance measurements from point ―A‖ to point ―B‖ on maps; in conjunction with the distance bar scales on the map. NOTE. When used on a 1:50,000 map, each tick mark on the edge represents 100 meters (107 yards) of ground distance. ZERO.
• Use terrain association to orient your map • Measure distance and/or keep a pace count • Use a compass • Move around an obstacle
1. Identify the scale of the map. The map scale is the ratio (1:50,000) of the distance on map (1 inch) relative to the distance on the ground (usually 50,000 inches). 2. Convert a straight-line map distance to miles, meters, or yards using the map's bar scale (Figure 071-329-1008-1). Figure 1. Bar scales.
