How to read and use a compass
나침반 보는법
I can’t even remember the last time I saw a compass in real life except during class when I was in elementary school. Since then, whenever I needed a compass, I used the compass in my phone. In the past, if the compass was included by default, now it has disappeared from the basic function and you have to download and use it as an app from the market.
Whether it’s a real compass or an app compass, the way to see and use is the same, so I won’t explain it separately.
However, I think the app compass is more accurate than the actual compass, and I don’t have a compass at home, so I’ll explain based on the app screen. Usually, a compass is used a lot when doing Dokdo method, but in fact, treasure hunting in places such as camps is carried out in this way.
I also seemed to be the only one who knew how to read a compass at that time, but surprisingly, there are many people who don’t know how to read a compass.

How to read and use a compass
1. If you want to use it as an app, you can search for compass and download any compass app you like.
2. Did you know that the N pole of a compass always points north? Check the direction the N pole of the compass is pointing, and if I turn around with the compass and the North and N poles match, the direction I see on the compass matches the direction I actually see.
After aligning the North and N poles, if you look at the direction chart on the map and align the North, the East, West, South, and North are correct. Just set the direction and move it.
3. Setting the compass isn’t particularly difficult, so I don’t need to explain further. To explain it based on the actual compass, the direction the N or red or arrow points is directly north, and if I hold the compass and turn 360 degrees in place, the N pole or 0 degree and the arrow coincide.
Then, since the compass and my bearing are correct, you can put it on the map and start the Dokdo method.
What you can do with a compass is the direction, but you can also look at the map and check the distance and location you are aiming for based on steel towers, churches, mountain peaks, etc.
Since the map has a scale, 1:50000 means that 50,000 cm is actually expressed as 1 cm on the map.
4. However, these days, Naver Map, Kakao Map, Google Map, etc. are used, so it is difficult to calculate how many meters 1:10000000 actually is because it is easy to express the scale in m units or km units as the screen is reduced and stretched. you won’t have to.
Sometimes it would be fun to travel and do things like Running Man in variety shows, but now even though it’s hard for people to get together like that, everyone is busy with their lives and is busy having a drink and breaking up.
