Setting Up for True North Readings
(Magnetic Declination Calibration)
If you want the watch to indicate true north
instead of magnetic north, you need to specify
your current location’s magnetic declination
direction (east or west) and declination angle.
l
Magnetic North and True North
●
The magnetic declination angle value can
be set in 1° (degree) units only. Use a value
that is closest to the angle you want to set.
Example: For an angle of 7.4°, set 7°.
Example: For an angle of 7°40’ (7 degrees,
40 minutes), set 8°.
Note
●
Magnetic declination angles (east or
west) and angle degree values for
specific locations can be found on
geographic maps, mountain climbing
maps, and other maps that include
contour lines.

Magnetic North and True
North
There are actually two types of north:
magnetic north and true north.
Magnetic north: North indicated by the needle
of a compass
True north: Direction to the North Pole
As shown in the illustration below, magnetic
north and true north are not the same.
Note
●
The north indicated on commercially
available maps is normally true north.
