12. How To Take An Accurate Compass Reading Taking a compass reading is actually very easy as long as you follow the adviceon this This was taught to me by my geography teacher many years ago, http://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/compass.htm

How to take an accurate compass reading The most important part of a Feng Shui consultation and without one you cannot practice authentic and traditional Feng Shui. You would be amazed at how many consultations we attend where the occupants have told us that their home faces a certain direction, only to find once we are there the measurement has been up to 50 degrees out. Taking a compass reading is actually very easy as long as you follow the advice on this page. If you do not have one already you will need to pop along to your local camping store and pick one up. One similar to the one shown below is ideal. I would not recommend you purchase a Lo Pan Chinese compass unless you are prepared to pay several hundred pounds. There are many cheap versions for sale on the Internet, however, these are better served as decorative items as far as I am concerned. The better ones you will find available from Feng Shui Masters web-sites such as Raymond Lo, Larry Sang and Joseph Yu. Silva 203 Model.

14. Compasses The earth rotates around a line between the geographic north and south poles . The difference between the compass reading and what it should read is then http://www.terrax.org/geography/compass/compass.aspx

Home Page People Things To Do Glossary ... Search "Teaching people about the world in which we live." Compasses by Shawn Steele A compass can tell you which direction you are going, this is known as your heading . A compass can also tell you the direction an object is from you. Those directions are known as bearings Once bearings of objects are known, you can use a map or a chart to find out where you are. You can then figure out which direction you want to go and use the compass to make sure you follow that heading. A compass works by using a magnetized needle that orients itself with the earth's natural magnetic field to point in the direction of magnetic north. The bearing or heading is then read from numbers on the compass to indicate directions such as north, south, east, or west. The numbers that are on a compass represent degrees of a circle. The degrees are numbered from 0° to 360°, clockwise around the circle, with 0° and 360° being the same thing. 0° (and by default 360°) represents north; 90° represents east; 180° represents south; 270° represents west. If your heading, the direction you are going, is toward the east, you are said to be on a heading of 90°. Likewise if your heading is toward the west, you are said to be on a heading of 270°.

The angular difference between these two directions is called magnetic declination. Magnetic declination varies across the earth's surface and over time. Presently, in Wisconsin we experience very small values for magnetic declination, but this has not always been the case.
