The advantage of conducting map work in azimuths rather than bearings is that azimuths can be read more easily from a map using a 360°protractor. Because bearings are no more than 90°, additional time is needed to determine the quadrant in which a bearing is located and to measure it on a map. Although the map needs to be drawn to scale, the actual scale of the drawing doesn't matter when measuring azimuths.
