DECLINATION
Magnetic Declination is taken from numbers provided on maps
and/or charts that apply to a specific location. The numbers
represent the easterly or westerly angular difference (Declina-
tion) in degrees between magnetic North and true (geometric or
polar) North. A Compass will point to magnetic North unless its
reference is adjusted to true North prior to conducting activities.
The Declination Menu displays the graphic SEt with selections
OFF, East, and West (Fig. 152).
