How to Use a Parallel Plotter

To plot a course, align the plotter's edge with your desired course or bearing on the chart. Roll the plotter across the chart to transfer the line or angle to a new position. The integrated protractors allow you to measure bearings directly from any meridian on the chart, eliminating the need for a compass rose.
