The Map Reading Company

Channel members can now watch the latest video “Sun Stick Compass – does not work”. In this video I’ll demonstrate why every other website, video, training manual, etc. is basically doing it wrong. But 😊 I’ll also show you a method that “will” work – anywhere and at any time of year.

This video will be publicly available on Friday (12/09/25) at 4pm / 16:00 UK time.

If you would like to help support this channel by becoming a Channel Member I would really appreciate it. Full details of membership can be found here:

When I was a lad, I learned how to use my analogue watch and the sun to find due South - I use this method to this day... 🙂

Looking forward to this one. I have a method that I learned working with a guy setting up sundials that he made.

Although this and the analogue watch method works in both north/south hemispheres, do they tell you which one you are in?? Only way I could ever tell was the star constellations. Any way of knowing during daylight???
