Declination

Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the horizontal trace of the

local magnetic field. In general, the present day field models such as the IGRF and

World Magnetic Model (WMM) are accurate to within 30 minutes of arc for the

declination. However, local anomalies exceeding 10 degrees, although rare, do exist.
