    The document provides the magnetic declination for a location at 17° 23' 02.90" S latitude and 66° 10' 00.13" W longitude as 8.58° W, changing by 0.18° W per year based on the IGRF 11 model. Magnetic declination is defined as the angle between true north and magnetic north, with present day field models like IGRF and WMM generally accurate to within 30 minutes but some local anomalies exceeding 10 degrees.

    Date 2013-09-27 Latitude 17 23' 02.90" S Longitude 66 10' 00.13" W Elevation 0.0 km Model Used IGRF 11 Declination 8.58 W changing by 0.18 W per year

    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.
