Magnetic Declination
Compensation
To compensate an object’s
bearing subtract westerly
(W) magnetic declination
or add easterly (E)
magnetic declination from
the magnetic bearing.
Example 1: Westerly
magnetic declination is 23
degrees and the compass
needle points 323
degrees. (Refer to image
on right.)
Example 2: Easterly
magnetic declination is 22
degrees and the compass
needle points 278
degrees. (Refer to image
on right.)
The watch allows you to
compensate the compass
bearing at a place where
the magnetic declination is
either westerly or easterly.
