7.4 Magnetic Variation
The location of the magnetic north pole is
different from the geographical north pole.
This causes a difference between the true
and magnetic north direction. This difference
is called magnetic variation, and varies with
respect to the observation point on earth. The
GP-30/35 is preprogrammed with all the
earth's magnetic variation. However, you
may wish to enter variation manually to re-
fine accuracy.

key.
3. Select the MAG. VAR. line.
4. Press the [ENT] key.

[ENT] key. For automatic magnetic
variation, current variation appears to the
right of AUTO.

tion is necessary, press the [MENU] key
twice to finish. For MANU, press the
