About Bearing Calculation

A bearing is the direction from one point to another, measured as an angle in degrees clockwise from true north. This tool calculates both the initial bearing (direction to start traveling) and the final bearing (direction when arriving at the destination).

Initial Bearing: The compass direction you should follow when starting your journey from the starting point.

Final Bearing: Due to Earth's curvature, the direction changes along the great circle path. The final bearing is the direction you'll be traveling when you arrive at the destination.

Cardinal Directions:

  • N (North) - 0° or 360°
  • NE (Northeast) - 45°
  • E (East) - 90°
  • SE (Southeast) - 135°
  • S (South) - 180°
  • SW (Southwest) - 225°
  • W (West) - 270°
  • NW (Northwest) - 315°
