To conduct compass surveying, stand at a known point and sight the compass toward the new point whose direction you want to measure. Record the bearing shown on the compass. Repeat this process at multiple known points to triangulate the position of the new point. Calculate the coordinates of the new point based on the triangulated bearings and distances.
