Calculation: Gradians ➜ Compass Points
What is the formula to convert from Gradians to Compass Points?
The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Gradians to the unit of Compass Points is:
Angle(Compass Points) = Angle(Gradians) / 12.5
Gradians unit in Angle
Gradians, also known as gons or grades, divide a circle into 400 equal parts, with each part representing one gradian. This unit is mainly used in surveying and civil engineering, where it provides a straightforward way to work with angles that are multiples of 10 or 100. Gradians offer an alternative to degrees and radians, especially in applications that require precise angular measurements.
Compass Points unit in Angle
Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.
