I understand degrees and minutes in longitude and lititude readings. But ATO adds another factor that has me stumped. What does the bolded portion the following readings mean? How is it interpreted? Long 18 deg. 32 min. E 090, Lat. 72 deg. 32 min. N 000.

I do not understand the need for those bearings. In PTO mods such as TMO, I have not seen them.
