Can someone who knows post the direction of movement in degrees as used in the Recon flight data and discusssions? Such as 270 and etc.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

If this is what you're asking:
90 is due east
180 is due south
270 is due west
360 or O is due north

So if you have a reading at 315 you're looking at NW, 290 you're looking at west/northwest. Is that what you meant?

Yes that is what I am looking for - thank you very much. Now I have it as a reference for when I read recon or the advisories.
