located at the ends of the axis on

which Earth rotates.

Meridians

Lines running through the poles and

around the Earth are called meridians.

going around the globe from east to

The shortest distance between

two points on the Earth lies along

the path of a great circle passing

through those two points.

Page 63: Intro to Navigation

VariationNorth Pole

Remember, variation changesdepending on your position relativeto magnetic north.

How Variation Affects the Compass

Magnetic North

Page 64: Intro to Navigation

To convert from magnetic to true,

just add or subtract the variation

at your location to the magnetic

bearing.

Remember — Westerly variations

are subtracted, and easterly

variations are added.

Converting Direction

Page 65: Intro to Navigation

Example of Converting Direction

If your ship was heading 080° magneticin a region where the variation was10° East, what is the true heading?

Page 66: Intro to Navigation

Example of Converting Direction

If your ship was heading 080° magneticin a region where the variation was10° East, the true heading would be080° + 10°, or 090° true.

Page 67: Intro to Navigation

If your ship was heading 270° true in a

region where the variation was 10° East,

what is the magnetic heading?

Example of Converting Direction

Page 68: Intro to Navigation

If your ship was heading 270° true in a

region where the variation was 10° East,

the true heading would be 270° – 10°,

or 260° magnetic heading.

Example of Converting Direction

Page 69: Intro to Navigation

The direction of an object from an

When recording a bearing, assume it tobe a true bearing unless followed by theletters M or R.

Page 77: Intro to Navigation

Objects seen by lookouts are reported

in terms of relative bearing by degrees.

Relative Bearings

Page 79: Intro to Navigation

To emphasize that it is a true bearing,

the letter T (for example 030°T) follows

the three-digit true bearing, spoken

―030 degrees true.‖
