allowing the user to hold both the map and the compass in one hand while travelling at speed by bike or by canoe.

the lines connecting points of equal magnetic dip

In this modern digital world, compass are becoming more popular. These use many of the electronic magnetic sensors which would calculate the accurate direction the compass is pointing

for directional readings since the moving card absorbs much of the motion of the boat.

are rapidly replacing the use of other traditional compasses. However, most military and ships use the gyro compass or magnetic compass if GPS compass could not pick up enough satellite. Many hikers and drivers like this compass due to its relative reliability.

What is the term used for magnetic properties similar to those of iron. In other words, you can make a magnet out of it?

the ship's heading shown by master compass by means of a signal from the transmission unit.

What is the term used for the angular difference between the true north and magnetic variation?

It is a sophisticated device designed for highly accurate navigation. The prism sighting arrangement allows the user to read the compass bearings while seeing distant objects.

What is the term used for a fixed point on the globe?

This compass relies on the direction of celestial bodies to find true north, which is used in many circumstances, mainly in the far north and south poles where magnetic compass would become erratic and gyro compass stops working.

What type of magnetism remains after the exciting force has been removed?

Iron or steel which is NOT readily magnetized by induction, but which retains a high percentage of the magnetism acquired.

It is a special type of compass developed in 19th century which determines the true north. The gyro compass is commonly used in large ships and in other circumstances where the accurate prediction of true north is needed

the line connecting zero magnetic dip.

What part of gyro compass used for converting the ship's power supply into the power necessary for operating the static inverter and transmission units?

What part of the ship does not belong on permanent magnetism?

The magnetic compass was first invented as a device for divination as early as the Chinese?

What is the term used for which the magnetization of magnetic material is in a uniform direction?

What type of magnetism refers to a non-magnetic iron is placed near a magnet it gets magnetized. As soon as the magnetic field disappears, the magnetism of the magnet is lost?

What part of gyro compass helps for computing and amplifying circuit components?

What is the term used as deflection right or left of the magnetic meridian?

What part of the ship does not belong on induced magnetism?

What is the term used for the process of rotating object's tendency to maintain it's orientation?

It is a part of magnetic compass that indicates direction to the Earth's magnetic field or the approximate position of north or south.

Iron or steel which is easily magnetized by induction, but losses its magnetism when the magnetic field is removed? can be demagnetized once it is magnetized.

What is the term used for line of force?

What type of magnetism may change in strength due to collision with another vessel, struck by lightning or moored on a constant heading for a long period?

What lines connect points of no magnetic variation?

Who invented gyroscope?

What lines connect points of equal point magnetic variation?

The deviation of the compass from true north is an angle called?
