Default bearing tool confusion - please provide a master class in screen shot and paragraph !

once again - please !!


i'm trying to figure out the bearing tool on the f5 nav map, the pull-down one. it has two sets of numbers - an outer ring and an inner ring. the 180 degree numbers are at opposite sides of the tool. i'm trying to relate this to the position of my boat and the direction of merchant's and other desirables.

i,m trying to use it in conjunction with the hydrophones - so if i get a bearing on a merch' at 275 how do i correspond with this information to this tool - at the moment i'm flummaxed and seem to be going around in circles with all the merchants gayly on thier way.

i hope i have made myself clear - maybe a screen shot would help me - and others !

to suss this out ,

many thanks - from the duck pond
