True course, yes, true range no.


You have to understand what the soundman is telling you and what your drawings tell you:
(1)soundman rounds the bearing:
True 359.5° = 000° for the soundman
and
True 000.4° = 000° for the soundman.

(2)The arcs in the drawings are rounded:
True 359°30' arc = 000° arc in your drawing
True 000°29' arc = 000° arc in your drawing
etc.

With these 2 facts in mind the laws of probability says you have a 0.0000000007715 % possibility to get all your 4 bearings and all 4 arc drawings at once error-free on you nautical chart ...
