Summary

[edit]
Description
English: How to compensate for w:en:magnetic declination when using a compass. In this example, the declination is 14°E (+14°), so the direction indicated by the compass as north is actually 14° East of true North. Thus, if we read 40° (roughly NE) on the compass card, the corrected bearing is 40°+14° = 54°.
