Did you see the link that was posted above? It's to my Map Tools tutorial that shows how it works.

Check out this image and notice how the 180 at the top tool is plotting a line to describe a true course:




If you start a line and drag it down you'll cross the 180 mark, meaning it's a line heading 180 degrees. If you start a line and drag it to the right it'll cross the 90 degree mark showing it's a easterly course. If you drag it straight up it'll cross the upside down 0, showing the course is 0 degrees.
