Bearings as the crow flies (great circle), measured from north. From somewhere else, the bearing changes: that’s the whole game.

Oùcécap’s take

To place Prague, remember Berlin, 281 km to the north, and Vienna, 251 km to the south-east. From London, aim due east, at 93°, 1,036 km away. From Montreal, a flat map would put it due east, at 86°, but the compass says 51°, north-east, because the shortest route crosses northern England. And Prague lies due north of Brazzaville.
