So I'm confused how you determine exactly where to place the circle. Am I just missing something?
The circle's center IS located at the end of the measurement done with the ruler on step three. Perhaps you're thrown off by the fact that that line was drawn on top of the protractor line done on step two.... which is longer... and so the circle's center is drawn on a point which is NOT at the end of the protractor leg drawn on step two, but IS at the end of the ruler line drawn on step three.

Also, bear in mind that the navmap is zoomed in to different scales on the various pictures
