Baseplate Compass
There are several grades and types ofcompasses. A good baseplate compass willhave a:
• Rotating, fluid-filled housing• Baseplate • Compass needle• North alignment needle • Direction-of-travel arrow

Baseplate Compass
• The fluid-filled housing slows the motion of the needle so the operator does not need to hold the compass motionless during use.

Pacing
Two methods of pacing:
1. Pace equals two steps
2. Pace equals steps traveled in a 100-foot distance
![Page 12: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Method 1:
Pace Equals Two Steps
![Page 13: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Pace Equals Two Steps
Determining an accurate pace:
• Measure a 100-foot distance between two markers, Point A and Point B.
• The area between the markers should be flat and free of obstacles.
![Page 14: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Pace Equals Two Steps
• Travel from Point A to Point B, counting off each step.
• Repeat several times recording step count each time.
![Page 15: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Pace Equals Two Steps
• Divided total number of steps recorded (120) by number of attempts completed (3)(120) steps ÷ (3) attempts = 40 steps
• Average equals (40) steps.
![Page 16: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Pace Equals Two Steps
• Divide (100) distance by (40) step average 100 ÷ 40 = (2.5) step length
• Multiply (2.5) step length by (2). 2.5 x 2 = 5 Pace = 5 feet
![Page 17: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Method 2:
Steps Traveled in 100 Feet
![Page 18: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Steps Traveled in 100 Feet
• Once an average pace is established, it is possible to determine how many steps it will take to travel a given distance.
In this example, 40 steps = 1 pace
![Page 19: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Steps Traveled in 100 Feet
Distance from point A to point B = (160) steps Pace = (40) steps
Divide (160) distance from A to B by (40) steps 160 ÷ 40 = 4 Multiply 4 by (100) distance used to find pace 4 x 100 = 400 Distance to target is 400 feet
![Page 20: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Steps Traveled in 100 FeetCalculate the number steps to travel adistance of 185 feet.
• Divide (185) distance by 100 185 ÷ 100 = 1.85 Remember: 40 steps = 1 pace• Multiply 40 by 1.85 1.85 x 40 = 74
It will take 74 steps to travel 185 feet.
![Page 21: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Pacing (Obstacles)
• It is necessary to determine pace on uneven terrain, through ditches, grasses, trees, brush of various heights, and other obstacles.
![Page 22: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Pacing Beginners should: • Use a measuring tape to accurately measure a
100-foot distance.
• Practice on clean, level ground, using a natural walking gait.
• Maintain a constant, reliable pace, regardless of the obstacles.
![Page 23: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Compass Use
![Page 24: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Compass Use
• The Earth’s North and South poles act like a huge magnet. One pole is positive and one pole is negative.
• Because magnetic and true North are not the same, corrections are made in surveying to compensate for this difference. The difference is referred to as magnetic declination.
![Page 25: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Compass Use• The compass needle,
which floats in the fluid-filled chamber, is magnetized.
• Regardless of the compass position, the red needle is drawn to the Magnetic North Pole.
![Page 26: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Compass Use
• The circular rotating housing enclosing the needle is marked in degrees in increments from 0° to 360°.
• Degrees are also referred to as the azimuth or bearing.

Compass Use
Example: To find the direction-of-travel based on a compass reading of 210 feet at 320° from a specific location:
![Page 29: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Reading 210 feet at 320°
• Rotate the housing on the compass until the 320° mark lines up with the direction-of-travel arrow.

31
Reading 210 feet at 320°
• Holding the compass at eye level, use the direction-of-travel arrow to identify a distant landmark.
• Walk in a straight line as indicated by the direction-of-travel arrow for a distance of 210 feet to the recorded location.

33
Compass Use
• Note: All magnetic objects, such as belts, watches, keys, and other metal objects can interfere with the compass reading.
• Hold compass away form metal objects when taking a reading.
![Page 34: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Compass Use
• Aerial maps are available through the Natural Resource Conservation Service or the Soil and Water Conservation District.
• Maps should be read with a compass on a flat, horizontal surface, away from metal objects.
• Readings may be taken from maps based on specific location and the direction to be traveled.
![Page 35: 1 Instructional Materials Service Texas A&M University - 8987E - Compass & Pacing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cd05503460f9499c261/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Compass Use
• The ability to use a compass effectively is an essential skill for wildlife managers, biologists, and other scientists who work outdoors. It is also a beneficial tool for the outdoor enthusiast.
