You meant Grid and grid is OK 0668. Bearing though is 209 not 211. Minute 8:58. Cheers guys.

😂 I was screaming when he said that.

As a first time ARMA player, this is immensely helpful. Thanks!

Glad to hear it!

After this video iam now a corporal ranger lvl 1. Can’t wait to play when I get home from work. Thank you brother!

Each hash on the inner scale of the protractor is 2 degrees and counts up clockwise. Being a couple of degrees off doesn't sound like much but any error will compound over longer distances. Better to be as precise as you can be. Also, best practice is to pick a landmark on the bearing you are marching on and simply move to it, then pick another. That way you can manoeuvre as the terrain and tactical situation dictates rather than marching in a straight line with your head buried in map and compass. In the jungle that landmark might be a specific tree 5m ahead, in the desert it might be a mountain dozens of Km away.

Really Nice tutorial, thanks!

Very nicely done

Very helpful to a newbie. Thanks man!

I got there solo in the dark to re config the Comms, it was defended by two tango's, it was pitch black. no map is gonna help you in the pitch black, tip ex military when trying to find objectives in say a town use your compass for the general direction in the dark then when you hit a main road follow the road heading in objective or op, remember use electric cable they always go into a town. I know it sound a bit unreal but trust me when you get this directional method in your head you'll only need to read the map once.

Yep. And if the road have lamp posts you can follow it from a distance and awoid enemy patrols and chekpoints. Also you can use the map (and satelite pictures in real life) to identify landmarks ahead of time to be able to chek your position and rout without the map. Those can be a hilltop, farm, bridge, fork on a road, watertower etc. Anything help that is uniq in it's immediate area. High things are best 'couse you can see them from farther, especialy if it's lit up like radiotowers or gas stations.

Just to be clear you can use the mils on a compass? Small black dash lines as a degree bearing. To get a accurate bearing in which direction you're heading in.

Don’t forget that when you have your compass out that you can focus in and use the site wire to find a random landmark. It doesn’t have to be anything special, it can be a tree, or a rock, just something significant that you can keep in your line of sight. Use that landmark to stay on your compass bearing. Once you get to the landmark, open up your compass, find your bearing again and sight in another landmark to keep yourself following in the same straight line towards your destinations. I learned this in Boy Scouts way back in the day and it works in Arma with the compass type shown. The Russian compasses don’t have a sight wire but you can still do the same thing by looking across the top of the compass to find a landmark.

Great post, and easy to understand! THANKS!!

Great video, thanks buddy

Look through the compas and pick a distant object to walk towards, when you hit that object, shoot another bearing.

Great video bro thanx man

The first bearing is 209 not 211 sorry. Lol 😅

Alright so let's say my protractor doesn't really work, it lands in the middle of my screen and doesn't move, (I've tried framing up the map so that it lands where I want it to by trying to center that up and I can't do it) so what should I do? I don't know how I would get a coordinate even if I judged distances right and my compass works, even if I guess where I'm at right, how would I get a coordinate for a other location even if I did know my own grid already?

5:20 , i think you made a mistake on the read, the grid, it start from left to right and you read from it right to left, instead be 8 you should put 2. and the other grid star from botton to top. correct me if I wrong.

Way points*

209 not 211. Music takes away from you. Great video tutorial though. Thanks
