🔍 Key Concepts

• true bearing vs relative bearing • how a single line of navigation information is represented on a chart • difference between a single line and the intersection of two or more lines on a chart

💭 Think About

• When you take a true bearing to a charted object and draw it on the chart, what exactly are you drawing? A line, a point, or something else? • Which of the options describes the use of ONE bearing only, and which require TWO or more observations? • Which choice refers to a direction measured from your own bow, and which refers to a direction measured from true north?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which term applies to a single observed bearing plotted on the chart. • Identify which option describes a point determined by the intersection of two or more lines. • Make sure you distinguish between true bearing (from true north) and relative bearing (from the ship’s heading).
