1.15Bearing Reference

Bearings can be displayed in true or magnetic bearing. True bearing is a bearing measured using true North as the reference direction, and it is calculated by the formula True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing +Magnetic Deviation (Variation).

Magnetic bearings are measured with magnetic north as the reference direction.

Magnetic bearing is calculated by adding true bearing to RD-30-stored magnetic variation. “M” appears near a bearing readout when magnetic bearings are used.
