About These Units
Compass Point (point)
A compass point is 1/32 of a circle or 11.25°. The 32-point compass includes cardinal (N, E, S, W), intercardinal (NE, SE, SW, NW), and secondary-intercardinal points. Traditional maritime navigation uses compass points. "Boxing the compass" means naming all 32 points in order.
Gradian (grad)
A gradian (grad, gon, or grade) is 1/400 of a full rotation, making a right angle exactly 100 gradians. Gradians simplify surveying calculations and are used in some European countries. Also called "metric degrees." A full circle is 400 gradians.
