A better approach is to set the declination on your compass, then just line up the true north lines (the parallel lines inside the bezel of the compass) with the left or right margin of the map. If you carefully fold the maps like the one shown above, you can line up the true north lines with the north-south fold of the map.Pursuit Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420951566280324474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699477082943619976.post-44256280870396490082012-01-16T19:39:00.942-06:002012-01-16T19:39:00.942-06:00Cris, I purchased the USGS Topo maps you are using...Cris, I purchased the USGS Topo maps you are using and your right they are fantastic.
