>>1348482it's a little bit true, living in the white mountains in NH I have to declinate my compass something like -14 degrees when I go /out/. Further north it is a more extreme declination, like -20 in the Yukon or so. There are some good websites to help you with that.
>Declination explained pretty good https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/compass-declination.html>Declination for your location http://www.magnetic-declination.com/>Remember to declinate your compasses, or they won't be accurate for orienteering. If your compass can't declinate, get a new one, it is necessary.
