A compass bearing angle is the clockwise angle measured from true north (0°) to a specific direction or point, expressed in degrees from 0° to 360°.

In navigation, this measurement is standardized as follows:

0° or 360°: North

90°: East

180°: South

270°: West

Bearings are typically recorded using three digits (e.g., 045° for northeast) to ensure clarity.
Alternatively, compass bearings (or quadrant bearings) describe the angle relative to the nearest cardinal line (North or South) toward East or West, such as N45°E, where the angle never exceeds 90°.
