Position Finding

Locator can be used for general direction finding, even without a map or chart. Using a regional topographical map or marine chart, Locator will allow you to find your position on land or at sea in coastal waters within sight of charted landmarks and designated aids to navigation. A parallel rule, protractor or straight edge will also facilitate the process. Follow the steps below to determine your position.
