    This document provides information on how to determine bearings in navigation: - Bearings are measured in degrees clockwise from north and written as three digits, with leading zeros if less than 100 degrees. - Angles in degrees and minutes need to be converted to decimal degrees. - Worked examples show how to calculate bearings between different points using angles and directions. - Additional examples demonstrate using bearings to find distances between locations or determine bearings from different points of reference.
