Distance measurement

Which task are navigators' dividers designed to perform in paper chartwork?

Short answer

Transfer a distance or coordinate interval between chart points and a scale

Dividers preserve a span so it can be transferred between route points and an appropriate chart scale. They do not contain a bearing or tidal calculation. Apply this by keeping the opening unchanged, then review the Dividers lesson.
