Magnetic Declination Information
- Most topographic maps show magnetic north pole
and or the magnetic declination information.
- The manual includes the magnetic declination for
some major cities. Check the 'Magnetic Declination at
Major Cities' section for more detail.
- For those cities whose names are not included in
the list, you may like to refer to the online magnetic
declination information.
4.3 Magnetic Declination Compensation
- compensate an object's bearing by subtract westerly
(W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E) magnetic
declination with the magnetic bearing.
Example
- 6° Westerly magnetic declination and the compass
needle points 6° (MB).
- The true bearing will be 6°(MB)-6°(W) = 00°
AEL-0 will compensate the compass bearing wherever
the magnetic declination is either westerly declination
or Easterly declination automatically, if the user inputs
the magnetic declination angle of the city which is close
to the user's current location during the calibration.
Check the 3.5 Calibrating the compass section for
more details on the calibration.
