As before, we have set the variation to 2°E.

The figure here shows the

relationship between track and
heading for the route from EKHG →

EKSD.

Once you have placed the 3

different North references, it is easy

to understand the task.

But without a small sketch (such as the one on the previous page) it can be

difficult.

When calculating TT – MT – CT or TH – MH – CH, remember not to mix up the
values - we are either talking about tracks (T) or headings (H).

These can both be specified in 3 ways:

- true values in relation to true north

- magnetic values in relation to magnetic north

- compass values in relation to compass north

We will try the help method "Can Dead Mice Look Sad" for tracks and headings

on the leg to EKSD.

Here is how you can make use of “dead men”.
