• Slide two triangles to transfer course or bearing.
• Place protractor vertex over meridian of longitude to determine course or bearing
• Hole at the vertex of the protractor allows the point of the divider or pencil to be placed on a meridian for a quick accurate course measurement
• A string fixed through the hole can be used on a chart to determine a long distance course.
• On shipboard, a string through the hole with a weight can be used to determine a long distance course.
• Convert the protractor into quadrant to measure the altitude of Polaris to determine latitude at night. Use a string of fishing line tied to the vertex with a weight at the other end to determine the angle.
• Measure angle/altitude of on shore object (tower/lighthouse) to determine distance from your location. Add the bearing for a fix.
