called “Westerly Declination.”

The Magnetic sensor in the compass is
attracted by the magnetism of the
Earth and therefore, always points to
the constantly shifting Magnetic
North. There is another “North Pole.”
True North is static and located
geographically about 800 miles
north of the magnetic pole. Maps
and directions usually are based on
True North. Magnetic declination is
the angle between True North and
Magnetic North. The amount of
declination at any given point
depends on the location of that
point.
