Dear Hive
Moving from point A to point B on a map is not so difficult if we know the azimuth of point B and, accordingly, our position on the map - point A. What if we get lost? It will be easiest to use GPS (as we know almost all modern mobile phones have one), but if we do not have one on hand, then a compass and a map would work for us to determine the intersection of three leading objects.
Never go to an unfamiliar area if you do not have a map of the area and do not have a compass at hand. This can cost you your life.
If you do not have a compass, in the article How to find the azimuth of an object. we have given tips on how to navigate, so you can try this way.
The first step in calculating your position on the map is to look around and select three objects that are your poison points so that you can more easily draw a conclusion about your position. It is best to look for three peaks or a bend in a river to guide you. They are much easier to find on the map and give you valuable information about your location. Start with the first point you choose and determine the azimuth? as shown in the above article. After doing this, draw a line with a pencil that is just below the azimuth angle of the object and the north of the map (If you have a protractor it will be much easier, but the compass can easily give you the right angle after applying it In the map).
Repeat this for the other two points you have chosen as leaders. The intersection of the three lines determined by the azimuths of the objects will show almost absolutely exactly your location on the map (you can see it in the attached picture).
Depending on how accurately you have made the measurements and drawn the lines, there is a possibility that you have made a mistake in determining your position. To be completely sure of its exact determination, repeat and check your measurements several times.
If the lines you have made intersect at the top and you are in a valley, it is obvious that you have made a mistake and you should try to determine your position again.
