Basics of Map Reading/Resection

Grid coordinate AB 1234 5678, what does AB refer to?

You are plotting AB 1234 5678, what are the first two numbers measured?

An 8-digit coordinate is accurate to ___ meters?

Forgotten map symbols can be found where?

Black usually represents man made features on a map.

Brown usually represents roads on a map.

Resection is the method of locating one’s position on a map by determining the grid azimuth to at least two well-defined locations that can be pinpointed on the map.

When conducting resection you have to convert the grid azimuth to a magnetic azimuth.

When conducting resection you have to use back azimuths.

The intersection between the two azimuths is your current unknown location.

You can use unknown distant reference points to find your location during resection.
