a back bearing is the reverse azimuth you are on. So, if you are moving on a bearing of north by northwest say at 22 degrees your back bearing is 202 degrees or the exact opposite.
A compass bearing of 270 degrees indicates a direction due west. In navigational terms, this means that if you were to face 270 degrees, you would be looking directly toward the west horizon. This bearing is commonly used in navigation and orienteering to specify directions.
when bearing is greater than 180 In order to calculate back bearing subtract bearing from 360
