    Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the horizontal trace of the local magnetic field. Present day field models such as the IGRF and World Magnetic Model (wmm) are accurate to within 30 minutes of arc for the declination. However, local anomalies exceeding 10 degrees, although rare, do exist.

    Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the horizontal trace of the local magnetic field. In general, the present day field models such as the IGRF and World Magnetic Model (WMM) are accurate to within 30 minutes of arc for the declination. However, local anomalies exceeding 10 degrees, although rare, do exist.
