against the ruler. Turn the direction ring until the
direction slit marks point to the magnetic North
on the map. When proceeding from map to ter-
rain, all you have to do is keep the North needle
between the slit marks while going from point of

the index mark, or on the SK-7 compass the
front end of the direction line, is at the desired
direction. Turn the compass until the needle
falls between the slit marks. The direction line
now points in the desired direction.
- Magnetic declination
Maps are drawn in correlation to the geographic

given on the map) should be taken into
