Note: sometimes the
desired azimuth
is not exactly divisible by three, causing an option of rounding up or rounding down.
Note: 1. once the map is oriented,
magnetic azimuths
are determined using the compass.
Azimuth on the map
from the known position back toward your unknown position.
Azimuth angle
varies from 0 to 360 degrees, allowing you to look in every horizontal direction.
Azimuth of 90 degrees.
The grid azimuth can now be converted into a magnetic azimuth because the
grid azimuth
is now larger than the g-m angle.
From the map,
determine the azimuth
you are to travel.
The reference plane for the
solar azimuth
is the vertical plane running north-south through the poles.
Azimuth instability.
I have a suitable tripod for this and also some skill in accurately setting it up to within a
degree azimuth.
To
measure an azimuth, simply turn your entire body toward the object, pointing the compass cover directly at the object.
A
back azimuth
is the opposite direction of an azimuth.
Azimuth axis
is labeled every 20 degrees, the elevation every 10 degrees.
The circular level bubble must be centered before
reading the azimuth.
At a minimum this should therefore consist of observations made in the vertical direction and at 6° off-vertical in two
orthogonal azimuths.
Azimuth plane.
Magnetic variation occurs and must be added to - or subtracted from - the actual compass reading to
give the true azimuth.
The azimuth drive is based upon a helical gear machined into the outside race of the
azimuth bearing.
A surface facing east
has an azimuth
of 90 degrees.
Azimuth scale
is set around the perimeter of the chart.
