What is Magnetic Declination?
A magnetic compass points to the earth’s magnetic north pole. Depending on your location, this may
differ from True North. Adjusting the magnetic declination allows you to compensate for this variation.
Magnetic declination for an area can be found on topographical maps. Declination can range over
time and distance. Make sure the source for your declination setting is up to date. The following
websites are good sources for finding up to date local magnetic declination readings.

NOTE: If you do not have a declination reference, leave the declination setting at the default, ZERO.
