A device for determining directions and measuring distances along a scaled surface, such as a map, comprises a compass assembly and a distance ring.The compass assembly includes a housing and a compass disposed within the housing. The distance ring is rotatably mounted to the housing and includes indicia to measure distance. The first indicia moves with respect to the housingwhen a user grasps the device and rolls the distance ring between two fixed points on the scaled surface. By noting the alignment of the indicia with respect to the fixed points, the user can determine the point-to-point distance.
Un dispositif pour déterminer des directions et mesurer des distances le long d'une surface à l'échelle, telle une carte géographique, comprend un ensemble compas et un anneau des distances. L'ensemble compas comprend un boîtier et un compas placé à l'intérieur du boîtier. L'anneau des distances est monté de façon à pouvoir tourner sur le boîtier et comporte des repères pour mesurer la distance. Le premier repère se déplace par rapport au boîtier quand un utilisateur tient le dispositif et tourne l'anneau des distances entre deux points fixes sur la carte à l'échelle. En notant l'alignement des repères par rapport aux point fixes, l'utilisateur peut déterminer la distance entre les deux points.
