Let us suppose that you woke up one day on an island. You have nothing except this device. A compass with an inclometer. You have food for thirty days. You have shelter. But noone knows where you are and neither do you. All you know is that you are on some island somewhere. Let us suppose that you can send out one TELEX to the people that are searching for you. ONLY ONE TELEX. So what information would you gather up to send to these people utilizing this compass with built in inclometer??? What kind of information could you write down in a log to transfer to a telex to send off in helping these search parties in finding your whereabouts?[/b]
Well lets see, since I have food, water and shelter, I suppose the first thing I&#39;d do is to hike to the other side of the island to see if there was a hotel over there. Hey, you never know, and it never hurts to have a good look around.

So the question is, how do I find how where I am?
Well, to do that, I would wait for a nice clear night; find the North Star and then use my inclinometer......that&#39;s it, I&#39;m done!!!!!!
