Oùcécap’s take

Yerevan lies on the latitude of Madrid, Beijing and New York. From New York, a flat map would therefore have you aim due east (90°); the compass says 43°, north-east. From London, it is the compass that points due east, at 93°, 3,614 km away, while the map would say 110°. A landmark: Tbilisi is to the north, 173 km away.
