180 degrees
The compass bearing of south is 180 degrees
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
on a compass a bearing is a measure of north south east and west
A compass bearing of 135 degrees points southeast.
compass bearing 271
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
Bearing cross reference refers to the bearing on a compass. There are many types of bearing crosses on a compass, and their productiveness solely depends on the material of the bearing cross needle.
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.
The AXIUM hand bearing compass is manufactured by Delite ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark.
A compass bearing of 225 degrees points southwest. This direction is halfway between due west (270 degrees) and due south (180 degrees). In terms of navigation, it indicates a diagonal path towards the southwest quadrant.
The bearing between due north (0°) and south-southwest (SSW, which is 202.5°) is 202.5°. To find the angle, you can also calculate it as 180° (due south) plus an additional 22.5° towards the west, which gives you the SSW direction. Thus, SSW is positioned at 202.5° on a compass, positioned between south and southwest.
