In 2014 FNEL (Fédération Nationale des Eclaireurs et Eclaireuses
du Luxembourg) will celebrate its centennial anniversary. This will be commemorated by many activities; one of them is
Geocaching. From now on and til late 2014 many caches, a hundred? will be placed. Join us as we commemorate our past and
celebrate our future.
A) These three “norths” are always indicated on a topographic map:
10 = True, magnetic, grid
20 = True, geographic, magnetic
30= True, geographic, cartographic
B) You have computed a “true” map bearing of 90 degrees to your objective. The magnetic declination is 10 degrees east. What bearing should you set on your compass dial?
10 = 90 degrees
20 = 80 degrees
30 = 100 degrees
40 = The declination value doesn't matter.
C) The “contour interval” is given in the margin of every topographic map. It tells you:
10 = The horizontal distance between contour lines
20 = The elevation of the contour lines
30 = The vertical distance between contour lines
40 = When the contour lines were last updated
D) What is the back bearing (reverse bearing) of 100 degrees?
10 = 280 degrees
20 = 80 degrees
30 = 260 degrees
40 = 290 degrees
E) The contour interval on Map A is 10 meters. It is 10 feet on Map B. Which map probably provides more detail about the topography?
10 = Map A
20 = Map B
F) The grid lines on a topographic map always point to true north.
10 = True
20 = False
N=49° 37.(B*C)+A+9
E=006° 11.(500 + D+ E+ F + 7)
