Upgrading the World Magnetic Model data

The World Magnetic Model data is used to calculate the offset from magnetic north to true north for the electronic

compass to function correctly. This data is periodically updated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration and can be downloaded from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/WMM/soft.shtml

Choose a file button, then locate the .COF file on your local machine and select Open.
