Example 1: 23°Westerly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 323°. TB=MB-W.
  • Page 59 The true bearing will be 300°. Example 2: 22°Easterly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 278°. TB=MB+E. While MB=278°; E=22° TB=278°+22° TB=300° The true bearing will be 300°. The watch allows you compensate the compass bearing at a place where the magnetic declination is either Westerly declination or Easterly declination.
