Bearings in Civil Engineering Surveying

This video explains bearings in surveying which refers to the direction of a line measured in degrees, typically measured clockwise from a reference direction, such as north. Bearings are used to describe the orientation or alignment of lines, angles, or points in surveying.
Bearings are measured with respect to meridian and hence they can be true, arbitrary, magnetic, and grid bearings.

Personally, I would like more of the mathematical formulas and surveying techniques. However, I think that many who watch this video are also looking for knowledge in land navigation with a map and compass. When I navigate, I calculate the magnetic declination according to the local reference system, (Grid system on the map). Of course, the Meridians are best for reference if I'm going to refer to a map anywhere else on Earth. Here, however, you have to think practically, will I be able to go so far that the non-parallelity of the different grid systems is important? The answer is no. The magnetic deviation is more important between different points on the map I have. Especially if the map covers a larger area. So the simplest and most practical is if you have a compass where you can adjust for magnetic deviation and that you adjust it according to the map's Grid system. However, I think you should provide various practical examples where you want to use the meridian as a reference, or other reference systems, etc.
