Compass Points
Compass points are a unit of angular measurement used in navigation and cartography to represent directions on a compass. Traditionally, the compass is divided into 32 points, each representing 11.25 degrees. Compass points are essential in maritime navigation, aviation, and orienteering, providing a simple and standardized way to describe directions.
Milli-radians
Milli-radians (mrad) are a unit of angular measurement equal to one-thousandth of a radian. This small unit is used in fields such as ballistics, gunnery, and optics, where precise angular measurements are critical. Milli-radians allow for the calculation of minute angular displacements, distances, and target adjustments.
