You've got to pay attention to details. You, as a competitor, should read through all questions carefully and understand what the questions ask. The event supervisors should make sure the questions match up with the answer key and make sure questions are solvable.

i did pay attention.

Sometimes things are out of your control. Believe me, I know that.

On topographic maps, can i compare the secondary highway lines with the scales?


are the alternating lines related?

Does anyone know how to find magnetic declination over time?
Like if they say find the declination in 2011. How do u do that?

[Jocool]

are the alternating lines related?

no not that i know of. also, smarticle, like PLSS on a highway map.
and also, that question about scale i had, it was just that the map i was using was not updated. also, the partner points to the location and other person finds it strategy was helpful. Thanx!

Alternating lines are not related. However, if you want to determine distance you can bring some string to measure with, using the scales.

I'm not sure. I'd do some research. Magnetic declination is not the same all over the world... wow, I seriously don't know. Now I'm going to have to do some research.
