Thanks very clear explanation

thank you for such an easy to understand diagram and video

Very easy to understand and I totally get it but in all my flying and navigating I never have used this terminology for bearings. In North America at least, you would never tell someone hiking go on a compass bearing of N10W. You would tell them go on a compass bearing of 350 degrees. You would never take off flying with a destination of S20W you would fly 200 degrees. Great video thanks for sharing

Agree absolutely. The terminology in this video will just add to the confusion many people have. The 360 degree compass is simple enough. Your heading is say 030, so the reciprocal track is 030+180 = 210 degrees. Try doing it for N30E, will it be S30W or S60W or W30S or what the heck?!!

I think these terms are used in sea only...

very useful thanks

thanks alot

Thank You Sir.

thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you! Very nice presentation, very helpful! :-) Quick question: Can a "True Bearing" also be called "Azimuth"?

I don't think so. Azimuth is (according to my understanding) best thought of as angle of elevation to stars.

So your back bearing will be the opposite? Like the back bearing from n10e would be s10w? Or n80w back bearing would be s80e?

Maybe this may help. In navigation, azimuth is used to refer to the direction of the line of sight of a celestial object while bearing is used to refer to the direction of the line of sight of a terrestial object.

True bearing is relative to north, always going in a clockwise direction. An azimuth is an angle between 0° and 360° measured clockwise from North. A bearing is an angle less than 90° within a quadrant defined by the cardinal directions.

👍👌👏👏👏😊

At the end you say, '360 take away 80 equals two seventy degrees..' or am I hearing things?

No, he made a mistake. It's 280 degrees.

What do i do if the boat has a deviation of 7degreeW.. how do i find the bearings with that?? PLEASE HELP

If you're looking a chart work. Ignore this video. It is rubbish for your needs. Variation and deviation for chart work have nothing to do with this version of true and compass bearings

compass on most boats is magnetic, so I expected to see variation and deviation explained

true bearings and compass bearing are NOT THE SAME this is incorrect information. You can not just say N 45 e is the equivalent to 045 T. there has been no mention of VARIATION. You will never get to your destination by this method
