>>> Can someone please explain what the 285 #s are I dont understand if that is west or what.

Those are degree readings...think like an analog clock. 0 degrees is 12 noon, 90 degrees is 3:00, 180 is 6:00 and 270 is 9:00 (due west). So 285 degrees would be just north of due west direction wise. Hope that helps.
