The Direction of an Object

• The direction of an object from a point can be specified in either compass directions or bearing directions.
  • The Watch includes both compass directions and bearing directions.

The Compass Directions

• The compass directions are shown in the adjacent table.
• For example, in the figure on the left, the compass direction of object B from point A is due East. The compass direction of object C from point A is Southeast. The compass direction of object D from point A is Northwest.

The Bearing Directions

• The Bearing direction of an object is defined as the angular difference between North and the object. (Assume 0^ for due North, and the measuring range is from 0^ to 359^ ).
• For example, in the figure on the left, the bearing direction of object B from point A is 90^ . The bearing direction of object C from point A is 135^ . The bearing direction of object D from point A is 315^ .

12.2 Compass Mode - Compass Mode

Compass Mode

• In the Compass Mode, the top row of the display shows the bearing direction.
• The middle row of the display shows the compass direction.
• The bottom row of the display shows the current time in hour and minute.
• The pointer encircled the display shows the direction of magnetic North analogically.

IDLE Mode

- If no key is pressed for about 1 minute, the watch will go to the IDLE Mode automatically. To activate the compass again, press any button.

Distortion

• If distortion is detected, the bearing direction will flash.
- Please refer to the coming section "Calibrating the Compass" to restore the compass to normal operation when distortion is detected.

12.3 Compass Mode - Applications of the Compass

Check your position by Backward Bearing Directions

• Spot two distant identifiable landmarks like mountains, light-house, fort or building from your current position, for example the mountains A and B.
• Check out the backward bearing directions of mountains A and B from your current position, for example 135° from mountain A and 270° from mountain B.
• Use a ruler to draw a line 135° from the north at the mountain A to your current position on the map. Draw another line 270° from the north at the mountain B to your current position on the map.
• Your current position on the map will be the intersection (point A) of the lines 135° from the mountain A and 270° from the mountain B.

The Compass Directions

• During a trekking, the Watch can keep your course in a correct way. For example, the correct trail starts from point A and finishes at point E as drawn on the adjacent map.
• Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) where the trail turns its direction or the trail branches its way, such as the points A, B, C, D and E on the adjacent map.
• Find out the bearing directions of point B from point A (315°), point C from point B (0°), point D from point C (225°), and then point E from point D (315°).
• During the trekking, make sure that the heading direction is 315° from point A to point B. Performing the similar checking in other sections of the trail helps you keep your course correctly.

IMPORTANT: If you are in doubt of the directions and positions of the trail, consult the park administration office before starting the trekking.

12.4 Compass Mode - Magentic Declination

What is Magnetic Dection

• The Magnetic North Pole is slightly different from the True North Pole.
• The WeatherMaster, like most magnetic compass, points to the Magnetic North Pole. On the contrary, everything measured on a map is related to the True North Pole.
• The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its magnitude (degrees and minutes) and direction (easterly and westerly) depend on where you are in the world.
• For a serious compass user who intends to perform an accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted for magnetic declination.
• The Watch also includes a compensation setting for Magnetic Declination. Check the coming section "Calibrating the compass - Magnetic Declination Mode" for more details.

Magnetic Declination Information

• Most topographic maps include a small arrow which shows the magnetic north pole and magnetic declination information.
• For the benefit of the user, this manual includes the magnetic declinations for some major cities. Check the coming section 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities' for more details.
• For those cities, their names are not included on the list, please check the online magnetic declination information at: 1.http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/e_cgrf.html 2.http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl

12.5 Compass Mode - Magnetic Declination Compensation

True Bearing (TB) =
Magnetic Bearing (MB) + Westerly Magnetic Declination (W)
300^ (TB) = 323^ (MB) + 23^ (E)

Compensate the Bearing with Westerly (W) Magnetic Declination

True Bearing (TB) =
Magnetic Bearing (MB) + Easterly Magnetic Declination (E)
300^ (TB) = 278^ (MB) + 22^ (E)
Compensate the Bearing
with Easterly (E) Magnetic Declination

Magnetic Declination Compensation

• To compensate for an object's bearing, either subtract westerly (W) magnetic declination or add easterly(E) magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
  • Example 1: Westerly magnetic declination 23^ and the compass needle points 323^ .

• TB = MB - W. When MB = 323°; W = 23°

• TB = 323° - 23°
• TB = 300°
• The true bearing is 300°

• Example 2: Easterly magnetic declination 22^ and the compass needle points 278^ .

• TB = MB + E. When MB = 278°; E = 22°
• TB = 278° + 22°
• TB = 300°
• The true bearing is 300°

- The Watch allows you to compensate the compass bearing at a place where the magnetic declination is either Westerly declination or Easterly declination.

- Check the coming section "Calibrating the Compass" for more details of the setting.
