Resection vs Intersection navigation, what's the difference?

- The basics are that a Resection is used to identify your location on a map and an Intersection is used to find something else’s location on a map. In this video I demonstrate a simple method of finding your location and also of finding something else’s location.
Your compass and navigation videos are the best on TH-cam! Seriously.
I was thinking the same!!! 🎉❤😊😅
Fantastic content all the time, thank you so much. You bring it a cross with a bit of humor as well, fab.
Thanks for the video. I always learn something new and always get a pretty good chuckle. That's a pretty good combination!
Excellent, I'm learning lots from this channel.
What a gem of a channel, excellent content
Thanks Terry
Brilliant, thanks for a great explanation and video. Cheers
you are a great teacher.
I love it !!!
Wow thank you for taking the time to answer my question in the best way possible!
No problems. I thought that your question needed a little more explanation than could be given in a few words in a reply box.
Thanks for the question.
@@TheMapReadingCompany my pleasure!
Nice video, and quite a flex of how many nice compasses you have!
You can never have enough compasses 😊
4:50 Frances Barker compass, just got an email back on price availability, keen to get one...picked up my Cammenga last week, chasing up some military protractors on backorder, think I've sourced some in the meantime. Appreciate your channel thankyou. May I ask, have you had military training, your knowledge is extensive. Surprising how many retail outlets supply gps devices and not protractors. Batteries go flat I tell them .🇦🇺🇬🇧
Please do a video on the best grid system to use with a compass. UTM?GCS? MGRS? I’m so confused!
Always a great vid.. thanks for the info.. this may sound stupid.. but could you do a video of how to fold a map into a case as used in this video.. I always end up screwing it up or adding unwanted creases.. or is that just how it is..please..
OK, I'll add it to the list. I have a LONG list of videos "to do" that would take millions of years at 1 every week or so.
But this is a question I get asked on my courses quite often so I'll push it up the list.
Great video!what small pocket compass with thermometer you recommend?
Hi, sorry but I never recommend which compasses (or anything else) people should buy.
Yeah I know 😂 virtually everyone on TH-cam ask people to buy something so they can earn some commission, but I don’t.
But I would suggest that:
If you are walking over short distances or in complex terrain e.g. rocky area, forests, etc then you should get a good quality base plate compass.
If you're walking over longer distances in open terrain then a mirror compass would help.
If you need precise bearings then a lensatic or prismatic would be a good idea.
If you really need to know the gradient of a slope e.g. off-piste skiing, etc then get one with an inclinometer.
If you’re a novice navigator, so only taking bearings from a map and not from ground features, then you could look at a compass with an in-built declination adjustment.
If you eye-sight isn’t too good then try and get a compass with a large magnifying area.
Etc.
What happened to DMS or DD locations instead of other grid references in the resection?
I saw them later in the intersection though. We use maidenhead for amateur radio, I have never looked at the history of those.
A great teacher needs to write a book😊.
I only use Silva because they are so good.
The issue we have here in the states is that we are frequently in forest with limited to no reference points
He did a video on navigating in a forest
If you can dig up an old BBC TV programme called "TRACKS" , a very young Ray Mears will show you how to navigate through a thick Finnish forest.
👍👍

How can you say that that one is Rye Loaf trig point and not one other trig point on the map? How can you say that the intersection is exactly that one and not one other intersection on the map? Truly interested because every time someone says you have to figure out two recognisable spot on the map I got consfused because on the map there are always a bunch of intersections, a bunch of trig points, a bunch of peaks and so on.
Sorry for my bad english but I am Italian. I know you can also speak Italian so you will forgive me.
Very good channel and good job by the way!
Questa è una buona domanda. Sto preparando un video su questo, presto (entro poche settimane). In inglese si dice “Feature Recognition” (riconoscimento delle caratteristiche)
I'm confused. At 4m58s I thought that 98 was the bearing from the shape and 221 was the bearing from the wall junction.
Cheers, Chris
Hi, yes you are correct. The graphic at at 4:58 shows the bearing lines of the transition to the point of interest.
How did you luck out with almost no magnetic declination? I have almost 15 degrees where I live.
This should explain it:

I was going to do this as a video but I don't have an animation software, so I did it as a blog.
Over there.
Grizedales! Where are you, Grizedales!
😁
Yes, this video was made in the Grizedales - around the Mappa Cross area.
If two different compasses are used there may be error
Mostly if you hold them together
