Orienting a map in the field means

  • A.turning it so its north matches the ground
  • B.folding it to show the relevant sheet area
  • C.marking the observer's position on it
  • D.converting its bearings to magnetic values

Answer: A

Correct answer: turning it so its north matches the ground

An oriented map has its features in the same relative directions as the features around the reader, so a hill drawn to the left of the road is actually to the left. Everything else in map reading - identifying features, taking bearings, following a route - is easier once it has been done.
