The LOCATOR is a self-contained engineer’s pocket compass capable of providing precise handheld bearings to selected objects. It utilizes a lensatic magnifier and sighting hairline to ensure bearing accuracy. In addition, an adjustable marching line is provided as an aid to maintaining direction in darkness, fog or through rough terrain. The information that follows describes the parts of your LOCATOR compass and tells you how to use and care for it.
