No navigators here? I got the words below from a sunset/sunrise primer. It says the same as I'm trying to say; Figure above can't work. I'd like to be shown I'm wrong.

The Azimuth of sunrise/sunset is the compass bearing. North is 0°, East is 90°, etc. On the equinox (approx March 21st/September 21st), the sun rises due east and sets due west (all over the world). At other times, the sun rises north or south of due east.
