A method of locating or plotting an unknown position from a known point by giving a direction and a distance along that direction line is called polar coordinates. The following elements must be present when using polar coordinates (Figure 6-21).
- Present known location on the map.
- Azimuth (grid or magnetic).
- Distance (in meters).
Using the laser range finder to determine the range enhances your accuracy in determining the unknown position’s location.
