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 differ-
ence is called magnetic variation, and var-
ies with respect to the observation point on
earth. Your unit is preprogrammed with all
the earth's magnetic variation. However,
you may wish to enter variation manually
to refine accuracy. When the option MAG
is selected on the item BRG REF., use
magnetic variation.
