measuring distances on a map with a compass

Explanation:
Maksudnya memakai jangka untuk menulis lingkaran "scribing circles" pada peta untuk mengukur jarak. Terjemahan yang diusulkan berfokus pada tujuannya "measuring distance", alternatif yang lebih harfiah mungkin "scribing circles on a map" di mana alatnya "compass" dan tujuannya "measuring distance" menjadi tersirat.

1. Membaca peta secara waspada, yang artinya tidak boleh langsung mempercayai data-data yang tercantum dalam peta, tetapi sedapat mungkin mengecek sendiri kebenarannya. hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan cara :

- Mengecek sendiri kebenaran dalamnya air dengan echosounder atau topdal.
- Apakah dalam-dalamnya air berdekatan
- Apakah garis-garis pantai dipetakan secara seksama.
