180 degrees
The compass bearing of south is 180 degrees
on a compass a bearing is a measure of north south east and west
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.
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.
The AXIUM hand bearing compass is manufactured by Delite ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark.
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.
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.
