Directional bearings are a crucial aspect of navigation, providing precise information about the direction of travel. Whether for maritime, aviation, or land-based navigation systems, directional bearings enable accurate and efficient movement.
Table 1: Types of Directional Bearings
Type | Description |
---|---|
True Bearing | The angle measured from the geographical north pole |
Magnetic Bearing | The angle measured from magnetic north |
Compass Bearing | The angle measured from a compass's north needle |
