What is the formula to convert compass bearings to true bearings?
For bearings in the first quadrant (N), true bearing = angle; for S bearings, true bearing = 180° + angle.
For bearings in the second quadrant (E), true bearing = 90° - angle; for W bearings, true bearing = 270° - angle.
For bearings in the third quadrant (S), true bearing = angle; for N bearings, true bearing = 360° - angle.
For bearings in the fourth quadrant (W), true bearing = 180° - angle; for E bearings, true bearing = 90° + angle.
