It is a bearing (a direction) based on a magnetic compass reading.
To input a negative bearing into a compass, first convert the negative bearing into a positive angle by adding 360 degrees (if necessary) to bring it within the 0-360 degree range. For example, a bearing of -30 degrees becomes 330 degrees. Then, align the compass to this positive angle, using the compass housing to set the desired bearing. Finally, use the compass to navigate according to the adjusted angle.
