Demystifying - Bearings and scale review

Drills

Reading, writing and calculating three-figure bearings, and converting scaled lengths.

Author note — to cover
  • Fluency — writing directions as three-figure bearings with leading zeros required, and reading the bearing of B from A off a marked diagram (4 questions).
  • Back bearings and journeys — the return bearing by adding or subtracting 180°, and two-leg journeys using angle facts at the turn, whole degrees throughout (4 questions).
  • Scale — converting between map and ground with ratio scales like 1:25 000 and drawing scales like 1 cm to 5 km, the unit change being the catch (4 questions).
