- Hole at the vertex of the protractor allows the point of the divider or pencil to be placed on a meridian for a quick accurate course measurement
- A string fixed through the hole can be used on a chart to determine a long distance course.
- On shipboard, a string through the hole with a weight can be used to determine a long distance course.
