Smaller compasses just have a English and metric ruler, often with the inch ruler graduated in tenths or twentieths and leave you to do the math.

Then, line up the other side of the angle with the 90-degree scale on the inner side of the protractor. You should align the 90-degree scale on one side of the protractor with the 0 degree line on a map, which is located on the right side. It’s the sunnato with a clear baseplate significantly larger than the compass and a folding mirror. A protractor has two scales, one for degrees and one for millimeters. The compass can also be used as a protractor, I think it’s an MC2. My Sunnato compass has a ruler divided 20 parts to the inch on one side with a mileage scale on the other, with a kilometer on the bottom-the latter two calibrated for 1:24000, and the inch rule is ideal for measuring distances in a 1:24000 map, but you can’t claim it’s calibrated for any single scale. You can buy 1/10 rules for engineering, machining and architectural use- engineering scales come 20 parts to the inch also- each part is 100’. Make a mark in the exact center of your line at 2.5 inches from the ends of the line.

You can also use the bottom edge of your paper as the bottom edge of the protractor to skip this step.

Measure the distance, shift the decimal point 3 places, and double the number. This military protractor can also be used, eventhough it is less user-friendly and is designed primarily to measure the azimuth, angle slopes, distances and rectangular coordinates with two. Draw a line on a piece of paper that is 5 inches long. This is the most common map scale used by hikers, engineers, foresters, geologists, wildland firefighters, etc in the continental US.Īny ruler graduated in 1/10” will work also, each 1/10 is 200’. I have several such “ devices”- I don’t recall if any are protractors as well. But not sure why you are having trouble finding one graduated for 1:24000. But I’m pretty comfortable doing math in my head. I’d be willing to make the corrections when needed. Uaing a 1:25000 scale instead of a 1:24000, would cause you would be off by 4%. One cubit on the map is 24000 cubits the ground. 1inch on the map is 24000 inches on the ground. You were OK until you said:”So for simplicity sake, 1=24000 in inches is 1' in real world is 24,000 feet on the map.”ġ:24000 is a ratio.
