v1.00
Map tools can be used to more accurately determine azimuth and distance. To do so, follow the procedure:
Deploy the appropriate map tool
Move the centre dot to the first point
Rotate the tool to align the lead line with the second point
Read the azimuth in degrees or mils
Align the 0 mark of the ruler with the first point
Measure the distance in meters to the second point
You now have an accurate azimuth and distance.
