Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region
above the Earth where the Earth’s magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true
North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle
in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly,
so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be found from websites such as
www.magnetic-declination.com.
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. If you are using an
orienteering map, you need to turn the declination correction
o by setting the declination
value to 0 degrees.
You can set your declination value from the Settings under Navigation » Declination.
