Center-Hold method
- The center-hold technique is less precise, but is faster to use and can be used under all conditions of visiblity due to the fact that Len Compass has luminous Bezel line, luminous Magnetic Arrow and Luminous heading (they light up during the night)
This is how to do Center-Hold method:
- To measure azimuth, turn entire body toward the object, pointing the compass cover directly at the object
- Once you are poinint at the object (can be a tree or anything else), look down and read the azimuth from the fixed black index line
Tip: when walking at night, as long as you alighn your North Arrow with the Luminous Bezel line, your course of direction should be made automatically without having to look at the degree number on the ring itself because LandNav at night whitelight or red light is prohibited and when stop to check your map only redlight is permitted.
