BASEPLATE COMPASSES
The baseplate compass is a practical, simple to use, liquid

compass housing marked in degrees. Baseplate compasses
are ideal for taking quick bearings and map use.

ORIENTING THE MAP TO NORTH
The easiest way to use a map and compass together is to
orient the map towards North. Simply align the map merid-
ians with the compass needle so that “up” on the map is
pointing North. Now everything on the map is in the same
direction as on the ground. When travelling along your route,
remember to keep the map oriented at all times. By doing
this it will be very easy to follow your route since turning right
on the map also means turning right on the ground! Properly
orienting the map is quick, easy and the best way to avoid
unnecessary mistakes during your trip!
THE SILVA SYSTEM
MAGNETIC DECLINATION
When compass and map are used together it’s important to know the local
magnetic declination and how to compensate for it. Magnetic declination is the
dierence between Geographic North/True North (where the map meridians
point) and Magnetic North (where the North end of the compass needle points).
In areas with significant declination, adjustments must be made to walk a
correct bearing. Information concerning the amount and direction of magnetic
declination is shown on topographical maps with a diagram. Use an up-to-date
map for current declination.
Declination can be handled either with a fixed declination scale or declination
adjustment in the compass capsule. Read more further down in this manual.
BEFORE HEADING OUT
• Always check that your compass is functioning properly before heading out.
• Never expose your compass to extreme temperatures (high or low) or to mag-
netic fields such as knives, mobile phones, radio speakers, magnets etc. Such
exposure can cause permanent damage to the compass.

dierent compass models
