Watching DS9 today, someone said bearing one eight zero mark zero. I thought that meant they were heading to the extreme south pole of the galaxy but then I realized she said "bearing", not "heading".
Heading is an absolute direction to head when going someplace. Bearing is where you want to go in relation to whats in front of you.
So, if you want to go 180 mark 0 when you're docked at the station, you want to turn around and head away from the station.
