## Summary

In embarking upon the study of navigation familiarity with the compass is the first logical step: the quick mental conversion of a course or direction given in points to the same direction in degrees expressed in quadrants as S. 35° E., and again into a system by which direction is indicated by degrees from 0° to 360°. A mariner will encounter all three of these systems and will find constant conversion necessary back and forth for various purposes. The 0° to 360° system is the most up-to-date and the simplest form of handling direction.
