In modern GNSS surveying, stakeout tasks typically rely on maps with known coordinates. However, in some countries like the United States, Canada, or parts of Europe — especially when working with legacy survey maps, forestry records, or cadastral plans — point positions are are described not by coordinates, but by their azimuth and distance relationships.

In the field of geodesy, azimuth and bearing are both for identifying directions and angle differences between points. Today's blog let's understand the differences between them to help surveyors ensure accurate survyeing and effective communication during various projects.
