Magnetic Declination

The difference between the north geographic pole and

the north magnetic pole is known as magnetic declination,

or more plainly, declination. The angle of declination is

different at different locations on the earth. The

geographic and magnetic poles are aligned so declination

is minimal. From some locations, the angle between the

two poles can be fairly large.

Table 4 is a list of the current angles of declination by

location. For other declination values, contact your local

Geomagnetic Institute.

To set the Meter with the correct compensation for your

location:

1. Push

  at the same time.

The display shows  and the current setting. The

default value is 0 °.
