8.8.2 Adjust for Declination for better compass
accuracy
Magnetic compasses like the one in the GPS watch point toward
the
magnetic North Pole
but not necessarily to True North. On the
other hand, a map refers to the
geographical
North Pole. The
difference in the angle of True North and Magnetic north is called
magnetic declination.
