An azimuth is the direction measured in degrees clockwise from north on an azimuth circle. An azimuth circle consists of 360 degrees. Ninety degrees corresponds to east, 180 degrees is south, 270 degrees is west, and 360 degrees and 0 degrees mark north.

Quadrant bearings are written as a meridian, an angle, and a direction. For example, a bearing of N 25 W defines an angle 25 degrees west measured from north

When calculating a bearing, azimuthal notation refers to the angle of the bearing from North, measured clockwise. Quadrant notation takes the bearing from north or south with a change to west or east. For example, Quadrant notation: SE = Azimuth notation of 135 degrees.
