An even better way to lay out the compass course is to spray paint it on the
ground if you can or to use stakes with numbers attached. If you set up a
string and it is windy, it can put you off with the blowing. The stakes and
spray paint will also give you a more exact measurement. The spray paint
can also be touched up for the following week without having to remeasure.
Below I have included the chart that I now use at church and NTC. Count
your total steps down and back, 200 feet total. Follow steps across to feet
per step. You can then divide your total feet by your feet per step and get
the number of steps to take. GPH also sells a compass course also.

Needs a little cleaning up because it was an Excel file but I thing you all
can understand it.
