 Scale and Distance
 Directions
MAP- is a graphic
representation of the
earth’s surface or part of
it, drawn into scale as
seen from above.
 A map can give accurate
information.
 It becomes more & more
necessary to rely upon maps.
 By necessity, planning must
be done on maps.
 Adequate supply of maps.
• Protect fm water, mud & tearing.
• Map should be carried in
waterproof cases, in pocket or in
place where it is handy for use.
• If you put a mark on a map, use
of pencil.
• Use light lines so they maybe
erased easily without
smearing and smudging, or
leaving marks that may later
cause confusion.
• Should be folded properly. 
ACCORDING TO SCALE  
Scale - is expressed as a
fraction and gives the ratio of map
distance to the ground distance.
Small Scale
Medium Scale
Large Scale
Types of Maps 
Planimetric map
Topographic map
Photomap  
Joint operations
graphics 
Photomosaic map
Types of Maps 
Terrain model
Military city map 
Plastic relief map
Special maps
 
Military Use
 General map
 Strategic map
 Strategic-Tactical map 
 Tactical map  
Artillery map
Situation map

Serial Number  
Example: S701
S – word series
7 – scale of the map as follows;
8 – 1:25,000, 7 – 1: 50,000
6 – 1:100,000
0 – Sub-geographical area as follows;
0 – Philippines 1 – Luzon
2 – Visayas 3 – Panay
4 – Sulu 5 – Mindanao
 Black – man-made objects
 Blue – drainage/bodies of
water
 Brown – relief & elevation
 Green –vegetation
 Red – roads, built-up
areas and special
features.
 Reddish-Brown – cultural
features, all relief
features and elevation
Grid Square  
Grid Coordinate scales  
Determining grids  
Precision 
Representative Fraction (RF)
  Example is as shown:
The map scale is 1:50,000 or RF
= 1/50,000
 

The map distance from point A


to B is 5 units
 

5 x 50,000 = 250,000 units of


ground distance
Comparison with the Ground distance

Example: 1/X, RF = 1/X = MD/GD


MD = 4.32 centimeters
GD = 2.16kms (216,000 cms)

1 4.32 4.32X = 216,000


RF
X 216,000 4.32 4.32

X =50,000
 
 RF = 1/X = MD/GD
Ex: MD = GD/Denominator of RF
GD = 2,200 meters
RF = 1:50,000

MD = 2,200/50,000
= 0.044 mtr x 100 (cm in a mtr)
= 4.4 centimeters

Method of expressing Directions
 Degree – the most common unit
of angular measure. 
 Mil – used in arty, tank & mortar
gunnery.
 Grad – a metric unit of measure
found on some foreign maps. 
Base Lines
 True North
 

 Magnetic North  

 Grid North   GN or Y
Azimuths - is a horizontal angle,
measured in a clockwise manner
fm a north base line.
