In navigation, bearing is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object and another object, or between it and that of true north. Absolute bearing refers to the angle between the magnetic north or true north and an object. For example, an object to the East would have an absolute bearing of 90 degrees. Relative bearing refers to the angle between the craft's forward direction and the location of another object. For example, an object relative bearing of 0 degrees would be dead ahead; a

Bearing is the angle between any two points, whereas course is your intended path of travel to your destination. In the rest of this post we’ll elaborate on each of these points and then also provide a real-world example that incorporates the accurate use of all of these terms.

The difference between heading and bearing in navigational ...
Bearing is the angle in degrees (clockwise) between North and the direction to the destination or nav aid. Relative bearing is the angle in degrees (clockwise) between the heading of the aircraft and the destination or nav aid. Here's a link showing an aircraft on a heading of 350° with a relative bearing to the station of 145°.

navigation - What are the differences between Bearing vs ...
Bearing: This is the angle between the location of an object, machine or destination and either: - my heading. This is called 'Relative Bearing'. - or magnetic north (direction toward the magnetic north pole). This is called 'Magnetic Bearing'. So from the picture, if I take off from Springfield enroute to Shelbyville.
