User:KenWalker/sandbox/Qualicum Beach Distant Landmarks - Kincade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of distant landmarks that can be seen from locations on the beach accessed from the waterfront end of Kincade Road in Qualicum Beach in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The index photograph is taken where Memorial Avenue ends at the Island Highway at the waterfront of the Strait of Georgia. 49°22′04″N 124°28′57″W / 49.36780608369205°N 124.48251128196716°W / 49.36780608369205; -124.48251128196716 (Beach Near Kincade Road)

Identification[edit]

Landmarks are indexed by true compass bearings. Using a magnetic compass[1], an adjustment must be made for variation[2]. As of July 2008, the correct adjustment for this location is 18° 5' East[3]. The bearing read on a compass must be increased by 18° to convert to a true bearing as used in the table. Subtract 18° from the bearings shown in the table to find the locations by compass bearing. Note that the bearings are only accurate for the position from which they were taken.
