In order to get a vector off the ground you have to be seen by the radar
facility within a half mile of the airport. So you can't wander into
anything.


Is "proceed on course, contact departure" a vector?

No. That's a VFR tower instruction. A vector is an actual heading to fly.

And if that course takes you right into a layer of granite, oh well.

Huh!!! And all this time I thought a heading was a "heading", and a heading
and altitude instruction was a "vector".

Altitude has nothing to do with it. A haeding is a vector and vice versa.
