Byron: I am interested in land navigation with small magnetic compass
using the Franklin piloting technique to inprove the accuracy of the
land fix. I see no difference in the use of hills and mountains or any
charted object (NAVAID) and the at sea chart.
The Hill or mountain is not a dot on the chart? map but still should
give a line of postion to get a reasonable postion for your purpose.
I use a hand held magetic compass in my 15 degree area and can get
usable fixes from my chart. I have had many hand compass's that were
within a few degrees once corrected. What is your variation?
There once was a army land bearing on Navlist and I used my technique to improve the fix and find the error, but I could not find it.
