EXAMPLES
Example 1
For the traverse shown in Figure 1, the bearing of side AB is given as well as the interior
angles at B and C. Compute the north azimuths and the bearings of sides BC and CD.
FIGURE 1
Computing azimuth and
bearing for side BC
Azimuth of CD = 114°52’+103°16’
= 218°08’
Bearing of CD = 538°08’W
Example 2
The magnetic bearing of line AB was recorded as S43°30'E in 1988. If the magnetic
declination was 2°00’E, what is the astronomic bearing of the line? If the declination is
now 3°00'W, what is the magnetic bearing of the line today?
