Notes: * Magnetic Bearing [°] is the heading (ie direction) that you are initially required to take from point A. When using a compass, use 'Magnetic Bearing (A to B)'. If using grid bearings (on devices such as some GPS's) subtract 3 degrees from the bearing figure shown. Grid Ref. - The first 3 figures is the reading from the x (horizontal) axis; the last 3 figures is the reading from the y (vertical) axis. Correct to within approx. 80m.
