When direction expressed as an angle, • It is also known as • Bearing • Azimuth • Forward Bearing (FB)
FINDING THE BEARING IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS • All eastings point north • North is 0˚ • Angle is measured CLOCKWISE from north • Bearing would be between 0˚ and 360˚
FINDING THE BEARING STEPS • Draw a line passing through both points • Draw an arrow pointing towards the place whose direction is asked • Measure the clockwise angle that this line makes with any easting

DISTANCE - TYPES • Direct Distance • Straight line (As the Crow Flies) distance • Indirect Distance • Along a path • Road • Cart Track • River • Canal
FINDING DIRECT DISTANCE Measure the distance between the centre of the two places in cm Convert distance in km (or meters) (Use the scale, i.e.; 2cm = 1 km) 3. Round off to nearest 0.25 km (250 meters)
