I just * know* that you will appreciate my telling you this Rich
(:>)): the difference between True and Magnetic North is called
Variation (about 3 deg West where I live in Cambridgeshire, about 30
deg I should think in the USA). Deviation is the difference between
a map's Grid and True (or Magnetic).
There, I knew that would come in useful some day ;-).

Rich (I wonder if he knows which side of magnetic north to look, and how many
degrees deviation? And all that precession going on, oh my! Where's me
Nautical Almanac and me sextant? Har, Davey!)
