Compas usin an analogue watch :-0

[j.m@talk]

I noticed this TV prog ........ But The snippet was over before my brain could take it in..... :rolleyes:

With an analogue watch ya hold it so the hour hand is pointing to the sun........ & then somhow ya can get an indication of some direction or other.......... :confused:

Does anyone know anything about this ? :t

[zybch]

I think its something like point the hour hand at the sun and north is the position between the hour and minute hands.

Ah, just found this:
