The Nav-Aid is a simple navigation aid which Chuck Sutherland invented. It is light, inexpensive, and easy to use tool. The Nav-Aid is overprinted with a 3" compass rose. A length of synthetic line, called a Bearing Line, rises from the center of the compass rose and can be stretched out in any direction around the compass rose.

Drawing a line on the Nav-Aid that is exactly over the TRUE north/south lines on the chart's compass rose allows the Nav-Aid to be calibrated for the area you paddle and you don't need to correct for variation. By marking the Bearing Line with the chart's mile scale, it is easy to check both bearing and mileage. The Nav-Aid helps to simplify the difficult technique of navigating from a kayak.
