This tool will convert degrees to azimuth for you accurately and quickly.
How to Use the Degrees to Azimuth Calculator
To use this calculator, simply enter an angle in degrees into the input field and click the “Calculate” button. The azimuth result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
How It Calculates the Result
The azimuth calculator converts the entered degrees into an azimuth bearing format. It normalizes the angle to ensure it falls within the range of 0 to 359 degrees by adding 360 to the input value and then taking the remainder when divided by 360.
- For example, if you enter 45 degrees, the result will be 45° (since 45 is already within 0 to 359).
- If you enter 370 degrees, the result will be 10°, as it normalizes to 370 – 360.
Limitations
The calculator accepts a range of 0 to 359.999… degrees. Input values outside this range will be considered invalid and result in an error message. Make sure to enter a valid degree value within this range for accurate azimuth calculation.
