Bearings and direction

All bearings have three digits. If the angle is less than 100°, place a 0 in front of the angle. e.g. 65° is 065°. Compass points from North move in a clockwise direction. North ( 000 °) North East ( 045 °) East ( 090 °) South East ( 135 °) South ( 180 °) South West ( 225 °)

  1. All bearings have three digits. If the angle is less than 100°, place a 0 in front of the angle. e.g. 65° is 065° Compass points from North move in a clockwise direction. North (000°) North East (045°) East (090°) South East (135°) South (180°) South West (225°) West (270°) North West (315°) N Bearings and direction NW NE W E 000° SE SW 045° 315° S 270° 090° Website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7ZvpIF1jCk 135° 225° 180°

  2. If you have to use a 180° protractor and your angle is larger than 180°, measure the angle from South and add 180 to your measured angle. Compass points from North move in a clockwise direction.
