The information is not shown correctly.

In what I believe is standard terminology, "s36w" is a direction, not a bearing. The bearing for "south 36 degrees west" is the angle measured counterclockwise from North, which would be 144 degrees.

The notation "s78" is neither a direction nor a bearing.

Re-post with the correct information.
