"Hi, this is John Stewart, and this is how to use a map to find direction. If you have a map and a compass, you can lay that map out, and find your way, wherever you need to go. The first thing you need to do, is just lay your map out on a flat surface, and then get your compass out. Line your compass up with north, and get it pointing in that direction. Your map is then going to have a point that points north on it. Line the map up, and the compass up, and get them pointing in north. Then you can put your compass away, and take and just look at the map, and figure out where you want to go from there. Once you figured out where you need to go, you can then take your compass. Lay it back on the map. Point it towards that area you want to go, and it's going to tell you, hey, you need to go ninety eight degrees in that direction, and you can take and use the measurements from the key, to figure how many miles you need to walk, or drive in that direction, to find your way, of where you're trying to go, and this is how to read a map."
