How to convert compass readings from bearing (quadrant) to azimuth ***UPDATED***

[kevinobrien]

THANK YOU! After reading several confusing blogs, articles, etc., this was exactly what I was looking for! Now wish me luck when I talk to my neighbor 😉

I have watched 3 of your videos till now, and you did a great job in all of them, Thanks

Dude may god be with you magnificent man. You saved my butt. (I have exams on this tomorrow and I didnt understand when my teacher discussed this)

[duckny]

7 years later this still helped on my exam!😊❤❤

Thank you, Sir. I now understand my property's plat.

You are a life save my man . Thanks so much this going to help me pass my wildland fire technology class .

TYSM!! I did not understand this part at all when my teacher discussed this in class

It would be helpful to have an appended photo of the quadrant/bearing diagram that we could photocopy onto a plastic sheet and stick on our Bruntons. I have a Brunton that reads in degrees, but would prefer one that reads in quadrants. I want to make an easy graphical overlay.

When considering bedding attitudes, N45E is the same as S45W. It's the same planer feature. The dip direction is very important to understanding the feature. N45E, 15SE is an example of a common quadrant with a dip. Instead of Due East, I write N90E.

As a geologist, we are generally trying to represent a planer feature, like a bedding plane or joint on a 2D map. It seems to me, that writing that a bed has a strike of S225 is not the correct way to describe it. It would be better to say that it is N45E (same as N45) and then give the dip direction and angle. The strike is a line that would have the same elevation at both ends, therefore it is not pointing to either the NE or the SW. It's level. As that is the case, why use bearing degrees unless you are referring to the plunge of a feature?

I would like to know if Surveyors first measure a traverse in whole circle bearings and than later convert to quadrant bearings when making a plot?❤👍

This is very helping, welcome explain sir

[Cadsur]

Explained very well. I learned this in school and in the job but this was good 👍

[freddiesims]

Wonderful. Good simply and easy. I thank you, Sir.

It should be written with like a dry erase marker or penciled in on a separate navigation log sheet next to a map waypoint; reverse azimuth, time frame of arrival, then the bearing adjustment shown in the video from that waypoint.

A few hours before my exam and I'm here

[filice]

Hello sir!
Can I have a question can you answer this into quadrant notation and azimuthal notation?
I'm a bit confuse on my class
This are the questions

Turn this into azimuthal notation
1.) N60W
2.) S20E
3.) N15E
Turn this into quadrant notation
1.)75 degree
2.)355 degree
3.)100 degree

Sorry I wasn't able to make degree sign 🙁
But can you please help me on this question?
Thanks if you answer it

[JAWSFREE]

Can you add a link to the compass pictured?

[crizmusic]

It's really helpful, thankyou so much!

[spyBB]

Looking for some confirmation. Long ago I read that you take a bearing with the quadrant system and you take a heading using the azimuth system. Have you ever come across this?

[ervano]

I now this system, but never used it or saw someone using it. 
Question: Who uses this system and why?

[spyBB]

By the way. Excellent video. Leave it to an American to be spot on.
