6.5.2 Entry of declination
The GPS watch, as most of the magnetic compasses, shows toward the
magnetic North Pole. Any departure on a map however refers to the
geographical North Pole. An angle arises from here. This is called deviation or
declination.
To correct this declination, the deviation degree can be introduced. This
deviation degree is indicated on maps as plus Eastern deviation (E), Western
deviation minus respectively (V).
Example 1:
Western deviation 23° and the compass shows 323°  323° - 23° = 300°
Example 2:
Eastern deviation 22° and the compass shows 278°  278° + 22° = 300°
Most of the maps have a small arrow, which indicates where the magnetic
North Pole is, how big the deviation is, respectively (it is indicated in
