DECLINATION

Magnetic Declination is taken from numbers provided on maps or charts that apply to a specific location. The numbers represent
the easterly or westerly angular difference (Declination) in degrees between magnetic North and true (geometric or polar) North.
A Compass will point to magnetic North unless its Declination is set to adjust its reference to true North prior to conducting
navigation activities.
Declination Menu, information includes (Fig. 89A) -
