Differentiate between reduced bearing and whole circle bearing
Quadrantal Bearing/Reduced Bearing
|
Whole Circle Bearing
|
The horizontal angle made by a line with the magnetic north or south (whichever is closer from the line) in the eastward or westward direction is the Quadrantal Bearing or Reduced Bearing of the line
|
The horizontal angle made by a line with the magnetic north in the clockwise direction is the whole circle bearing of the line
|
Both magnetic north and south lines are considered as reference line in quadrantal bearing system
|
Only the magnetic north line is considered as reference line in whole circle bearing system.
|
Both clockwise and anticlockwise angle from the reference line is Only taken
|
The clockwise angle from the reference line is Only taken
|
The value of the reduced bearing varies from 0° to 90°
|
The value of the whole circle bearing varies from 0° to 360°
