A whole-circle bearing is measured

  • A.clockwise from north through 360 degrees
  • B.clockwise from east through 360 degrees
  • C.in either direction from the nearest axis
  • D.anticlockwise from north through 180 degrees

Answer: A

Correct answer: clockwise from north through 360 degrees

The whole-circle system measures every bearing in one direction from one reference, so there is no ambiguity and no quadrant to record. That is what distinguishes it from the older quadrantal system, in which a bearing is given as an angle from north or south towards east or west.
