Switching from heading to a magnetic direction and back

How can you switch from the direction you pick up on the field to the direction on a map without changing your route.

To go from a heading G to a magnetic direction AM (and the opposite) you will need to draw this diagram.

You need to check your magnetic direction and your heading on this diagram using the definition of a walking angle:

  • Heading G is the angle between the Lambert pole Y and the direction you want to follow.
  • The magnetic direction AM is the angle between the magnetic north and the direction you want to follow.

Therefore you can draw these two angles using the examples below :

conversion gisement-azimut-1

conversion gisement-azimut-2
