Navigation

Rumbo

Definición

Un rumbo es la dirección horizontal de desplazamiento o de un objetivo, medida en grados en sentido horario desde el norte (0°/360°), con el este a 90°, el sur a 180° y el oeste a 270°.

Explicación

Bearings are used in navigation, surveying, and military operations to communicate direction unambiguously. A 'true bearing' references geographic north, while a 'magnetic bearing' references magnetic north, which differ by the local magnetic declination. Sailors and pilots routinely correct between the two: in eastern North America, magnetic north lies roughly 10–15° west of true north.
