Compass variance
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-
country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass vari-
ance.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s mag-
netic north and the true geographic north. If not adjusted to
account for this compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.

adjusted when the vehicle is safely parked.
