From LAT 07°12'N, LONG 80°00'W, to LAT 47°12'S, LONG 169°18'E, the initial great circle course angle is 137.25°. How would you name this course?

Correct Answer: Option A — N 137.25°W

Initial great circle course angles are named using the departure latitude prefix (North or South) and suffix (East or West) corresponding to the destination direction. Departing from 07°12'N heading towards a westerly longitude yields N 137.25°W, per Bowditch conventions.
