For bearing between 0 and 180 degrees their Zero edge must be on the LEFT and for 180 degrees -360 degrees it must be on the RIGHT.  (b) Measure distance in inches correct unto 1/100th.  (c) Measure distance in yards, meters or miles on a map by using the appropriate scale.  (d) For using the diagonal scale one must use an intermediate agent.  Mark off the distance to be measured on the straight edge of a paper or by means of a divider and then put the paper or divider on the diagonal scale and measure.  What are the types of compass?  Compass is of two types as under : -  (a) Dry Type  (b) Liquid Type  What is Global Positioning System (GPS)?  GPS is a system of satellites and receivers that allows people and devices to pin point their precise location on the earth.

MAP SETTINGS IN NCC   Define grid line?   A map is covered with a net work of purple lines, some running North and South and other West and East. These form a series of small squares all over the map. These lines are known as 'Grid Lines'.  What are the basic rules for giving grid reference?  (a) A reference must always contain an even number of figures. In the normal method, it will contain six figures.  (b) Always count along the EASTING lines first from WEST to EAST and then from SOUTH to NORTH, along NORTHINGS.  (c) For the six figures reference, the third and the sixth figure represent the divisions of 1000 yards square to the nearest 10th part, so they have to be estimated and for these figures slight latitude is allowed.  (d) If a general grid reference is to be given or there is only one such object in one square e.g. bridge, temple, road, junction, then a four figure grid reference would suffice.  What are various types of North?  (a) True North - The direction of Nort

 GRID REFERENCE GR IN NCC Sometimes it is necessary to be even more accurate. In this case you can imagine that each grid is divided into 100 tiny squares. The distance between one grid line and the next is divided into tenths. First, find the four-figure grid reference but leave a space after the first two digits. Estimate or measure how many tenths across the grid square your symbol lies. Write this number after the first two digits. Next, estimate how many tenths up the grid square your symbol lies. Write this number after the last two digits. You now have a six figure grid reference. In this instance, the tourist information office is located at 476334.
