[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2241347, member: 97050"] It’s beside the point. The point is, there’s a thread talking about a map and compass…im curious what they are doing with the compass without the protractor. Besides orienting the map. Lol Resection isn’t a primary method for anything…you have no idea where you are if you are using a 2 or 3 point resection….or you’re in a fire tower or coordinating an assault with another team if you’re using intersection, usually under thick canopy. Most of the civilian population here isn’t messing with a GRG either. The ratios and datums are going to be different. You still need to know how to put that in your gps. Civilian maps won’t always be in mgrs. You’ll need the appropriate protractor lol. I’m just criticizing the thread as a whole. [/QUOTE]
