What is the advantage of conducting map work in azimuths rather than bearings?
  1. Azimuths can be read more easily from a map using a 360°protractor.
  2. Azimuths can be measured between points on a map not drawn to scale.
  3. Answers A and B
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - The advantage of conducting map work in azimuths rather than bearings is that azimuths can be read more easily from a map using a 360°protractor. Because bearings are no more than 90°, additional time is needed to determine the quadrant in which a bearing is located and to measure it on a map. Although the map needs to be drawn to scale, the actual scale of the drawing doesn’t matter when measuring azimuths.
