Guide to compasses What is magnetic declination (variation)? Magnetic declination is the difference in degrees, between Geographic North (to which the maps meridians are directed) and Magnetic North (to where the compass needle is pointing). It varies, depending on where you are in the world and can be found on most maps. Eastern declination means that you shall subtract the amount of the declination from the bearing obtained from the map to get a true compass course.
