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.

Determine the grid azimuth from the start point to the finish point, or to the first intermediate point on the map. Convert the grid azimuth taken from the map to a magnetic azimuth. Determine the distance between the start and finish points or between any intermediate points on the map.
Figure 1. Graphic bar scale. 2. Determine straight-line distance between two points on a map. a. Lay a straight edged piece of paper on the map so that the edge of the paper touches both points and extends past them. b. Make a tick mark on the edge of the paper at each point (Figure 2). Figure 2. Straight-line distance.
Given a 1:50,000 scale map, a strip of paper with a straight edge, and a pencil. Determine the straight-line distance between two points with no more than 5 percent error and the road (curved line) distance between two points with no more than a 10 percent error.
