      We use the ship’s computer to give a heading in 360 degrees, or in relation to another object like a ship/planet/fixed destination.

      But between you and me, some days I just phone it in and say “left” or “right” and leave it to Data to figure out. It’s honestly the main reason I keep an android on the bridge.
