rhumb line
In navigation, a rhumb line (or loxodrome) is a line crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle, i.e. a path derived from a defined initial bearing.
That is, upon taking an initial bearing, one proceeds along the same
bearing, without changing the direction as measured relative to true north.
