Do one take a bearing using a hand bearing compass? If so, would the same deviation chart of your ships compass apply? I loved the ease of your explaining though

[joahhaldas]

very helpful I learned that the TVMDC must come first before you find each bearing and the meridan line trick was hepful Neil

Do you still do these videos? I only see videos for about 8 years ago

So when you add Variation and Deviation you subtract it with East no matter what and you subtract total error from the PSC for True when going up but Add the total of error to true to get your PSC correct? I was taught to add W and subtract East going down and reverse the roles when going up and I think your way is better if I understood it correctly

Where do you get the deviation and variation?

[minibar]

Why convert the three bearings to "True"? ... could't you just plot the three in PSC, and then take that fix over to the Compass Rose and read the outer ring to get your Set in "True??

[robertstancer]

Could you please explain to me where Variation comes from on your chart, or have i missed a video?
