What is 87 degree West on compass.?

Question

Whould it be North, East, South or West. And what direction is 61.5 on compass?

Answer 1

273 degrees and that's West.

61.5 is East North East.

Answer 2

That doesn't sound like a direction on a compass to me. It sounds like a line of longitude.

Answer 3

A compass covers 360 degrees, just like any circle. It is laid out in 4 quadrants, of 90 degrees each, so 90 degrees west is due west. Three degrees north of that is 87. Most nav systems call it 273.

Answer 4

There is no 87 deg west on the compass. 87 deg is deg is 3 deg short of being due east, and 61.5 would be about east, east north east.

  zero being north, 90 deg is east, 180 is south and 270 is west.
