अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What is a compass bearing?

A bearing is an angle measured clockwise from true north. 0° is due north, 90° is due east, 180° is due south, 270° is due west.

What is the difference between true and magnetic north?

True north points to the geographic North Pole. Magnetic north is where a compass needle points and varies by location (magnetic declination). The difference can be significant for precise navigation.
