• Always ensure that you are not standing next to any electrical transformers or electronic gadgets, metallic gates. Avoid any area that might      have an effect on the compass reading.

• Not all houses have 90 degrees wall so you have to be careful while taking the measurements (always look at the floor plan first before      beginning to take the measurements).

• You will require a reliable compass for this. Buy one that has all the 360 degrees outlined or you could also opt for a reliable digital      compass. (A lo pan is not necessary for beginners).

• It is always best to carry a small notepad and pen to write down the measurements.

• If the reading you have taken falls in between the mountains or triagrams then it is better if you recheck your readings by taking two other      readings.
