Compass Bearing is the direction to an object from a vantage point, as would be indicated by a compass.
Sometimes the ambiguous term Bearing is used when compass bearing is the intended meaning, but caution must be taken as the source may intend to mean relative bearing.
Units of Measure
This was expressed in degrees from 0 to 359, or as points on the compass rose (e.g.: North, Northwest, North by East). Sometimes, it was expressed in quadrant degrees (? is this the word? e.g.: "15 degrees north of east").
