    Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and magnetic north, which was 5°21'34"E on May 26, 2013 at a location in Mexico City according to the IGRF11 model, changing at a rate of 7.2' W per year. While modern field models like IGRF and WMM predict declination within 30 minutes, local anomalies over 10 degrees are possible in rare cases.

    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.
