Using Compass - Suunto Core User Manual

The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic North
changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be
obtained from the internet (for example the National Geophysical Data Center
for the USA).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic North. This
means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to turn the
declination correction off by setting the declination value to 0 degrees.
To set the declination value:
1. In , select
MENU
2. Turn the declination off or choose
3. Set the declination value with [+] and [- Light].
