Bearing listings are created as the result of creating route directions in the Route tab 
or from an Advanced (Distance From) search in the Find tab. Bearing refers to the 

compass direction of a given object measured clockwise in degrees (for example, 
30°) or nearest compass point (for example, NNE) and indicated from True North or 

Magnetic North. 
Notes:  

•  Magnetic declination is the difference in degrees between True North and 

Magnetic North at a specific location. 

•  The bearing setting does not affect map appearance. 

Use the following steps to change the bearing.

 on the toolbar and then click Options. 

2.  Click the Display tab.
