What are the measurements on this slope angle tool?
I totally need one of these
This helps you estimate the slope angle on a contour map by measureing the gaps between the contour lines. This is to help you avoid avoid avalanche areas.
I'm sure I could work this out but my maths is terrible. Anyone know what the mm gap is between each of the markers on this tool?
