Magnetic Declination Compensation

- Compensate an object's bearing by subtract westerly ( W ) m a g n e t i c d e c l i n a t i o n o r a d d e a s t e r l y ( E ) magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.

Example 1

-238 Westerly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 3238.

-The bearing will be 3238 (MB) - 238 (W) = 3008 (TB).

Example 2

-228 Easterly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 2788.

-The bearing will be 2788(M) + 228(E) = 3008 (TB).

- XG-20will compensate the compass bearing

w h e r e v e r t h e m a g n e t i c d e c l i n a t i o n i s e i t h e r Westerly (-ve) declination or Easterly declination (+ve) automatically, if the user inputs the magnetic declination angle of the city which is close to the user's current location during the calibration.

-Check the 'Calibrating the Compass' section for more details on the calibration.
