How do i get to Polar orbit using a Auto pilot mod.

Hi how do i get to Polar orbit using Mechjeb or gravity turn mod?What inclination do i use?And is there a good compass picture on inclinations for other types of orbits and headings?

In MechJeb try experimenting with the inclination settings.
0 = east
90 = north
180 = west
270 (-90) = south

You'll note that when you take off with a autopilot pointing you at 180 or 0 degrees, in the map it'll still look like you're going diagonally - this is because at launch you're turning as fast as Kerbin is spinning - so you will get into a near polar orbit by the time you circularize  - though it won't be coincident with the point at which you launched - this could be a probablem if you need to get into a specific polar orbit. 

To do that you'll need to burn west-ward from launch to count Kerbin's rotation - and factor in the increased amount of fuel to do so.

Do you speak of HyperEdit, or something like MechJeb? Are you trying to fulfill a contract?

Yeah, I use a 90 degree launch angle then adjust once up there. The result from 90 is good enough for a scanning sat, anyways.
