What is the difference between compass bearing and true bearing?
Compass bearing refers to the direction indicated by a compass, typically expressed in degrees from the north, using cardinal directions (e.g., N, E, S, W) or in a clockwise manner from 0° to 360°. True bearing, on the other hand, is measured in degrees from true north, which is the geographic North Pole, and does not account for magnetic declination.
