Bearings & Azimuths: Carrying Whole-Circle Bearings Round the Traverse, Back Bearings and Quadrant Bearings

Lesson 2 of 815 minLab

This lesson is part of the course

In this lesson

You carry the start azimuth of leg A–B round the traverse with the adjusted interior angles and MOD 360, prove that it closes on itself, add the back azimuths and turn every azimuth into a quadrant bearing such as N 26.9919 W.
