HOW TO MEASURE BEARINGS

First of all, take a look at this video below

Let's us find out more information about bearings...

The true bearing to a point is the angle measured in degrees in a clockwise direction from the north line. We will refer to the true bearing simply as the bearing.

For example, the bearing of point P is 065º which is the number of degrees in the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the center of the compass at O with the point P (i.e. OP).

The bearing of point Q is 300º which is the number of degrees in the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the centre of the compass at O with the point Q (i.e. OQ).

Note:

The bearing of a point is the number of degrees in the angle measured in a clockwise direction from the north line to the line joining the center of the compass with the point.

A bearing is used to represent the direction of one point relative to another point.

For example, the bearing of A from B is 065º. The bearing of B from A is 245º.

Note:

• Three figures are used to give bearings.
• All bearings are measured in a horizontal plane.
