So, we have a map and we have to draw a cruises route on the map.The place where I started from to the line I drew is 15 degrees east from true north on a compass. The magnetic variation is 11 degrees east. Does that mean the compass bearing is 4 degrees east from north?I'm probably totally wrong. What's the true bearing? I'm confused :(
True North is 15% off magnetic North. I'm not sure how your assignment is supposed to be worked but as an ex Navigational guy in the USN I can tell you we always put North at 000 the bearing on a location 15% east of there would be 015% South=180, East=090, West=270. that's how professionals do it we just don't worry about magnetic North. All our bearings are calibrated to true North
I am confused too. You will get a good answer if you ask this in a different section e.g Homework or Mathematics.
