Second Example - Where is the scale

The scale on any chart is the latitude. 1 degree = 60 nm, 1 minute = 1 nm. This is in the course material. Module 9 - Latitude and Longitude.

Unless I am missing something there is no information on the pdf print that tells you which chart is in use or the scale and you cant see any latitude or longitude info, so you can't use it to plot the example yourself.

Grant - agree with what you say, but there are no markings on the PDF that we can use to determine the scale, and hence determine the distance between the latitude lines. Based on the mark on the web page for the same example (1.5 nm south of the beacon), you can use your dividers to walk off the distance between the latitude lines to determine that, at the map's scale, there are 6 nm between latitude lines. Once you have that, you can do everything else. So it's possible to do the exercise; just requires a little ingenuity. Would be easier if there was a proper scale on the map though. I remember my Grade 9 geography teacher beating it into my head - "A proper map requires 3 things: a north arrow, a scale, and a legend". Still remember that 38 years later, so I guess she was successful.

Hi all, Apologies - you are all correct. There was no scale on that chart. We fixed that. Now when you download the PDF there is a scale to the left.
