The Hand Bearing Compass can be used in two different ways. To take the bearing of a point, the compass is held near the eye and read down the line of sight. A stable bearing appears in the prism in perfect focus day or night. For quick reference, a heading can be determined by looking straight down at the compass and reading the degree shown with the magnifying lens.
