    hi miss, great video, but I gotta know if you’re absolutely right about the southern hemisphere ’cause an expert told me that it gives you the north-south line, not the south-north line.

    Ok that is great, but you need to let the people who are watching this video know that there is a potentially big difference in magnetic north and true north, in addition to Grid North on a map. I understand you are showing rudimentary navigation methods. It would really help people to know this method of navigation is very crude and if you don’t understand dead reckoning and measures to ensure your terrain map association is correct, you might get yourself into a real predicament. 5 for effort
