Translate bearing to geographic terms in BusTooltip

[itsoriki]

Where is it?

Time Based Map => Press any bus icon on the map => Look for drive direction

The problem

• The bearing raw data (in degrees) is not intuitive for the average user (e.g. 330 degrees)
• (In english the text of the drive direction is also wrong grammar-wise: it just says "X bearing")

What could you do?

Help us translating the bearing (290 מעלות) to geographic terms (צפון מערב, אזימוט 290)

@NoamGaash I opened an issue for the bearing translation. I think there will be some clarifications needed about the exact output wanted and the algorithm for the conversion - If you want to add any kind of explanation here

@itsoriki that's fantastic!
regarding the logic, it should probably be something similar to this -
