Compass BearingsA bearing is the direction on a map from one point to another. Because we traditionally orient maps to north (not east, west, or south), the bearing of a line is usually given with respect to how many degrees off it is from straight north. So if I want to discuss a property boundary, for example, I might say that the bearing of the eastly boundary of the site is "N 30 degrees E", or "N 10 degrees E."
