Source/link for current declination?



Ours here used to be big, but it’s much smaller now, but want current. Even currant.

The zero line used to be between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. I see it's just west of the Mississippi river now. Interesting change.

Intersting how it shifted per those links versus the nad 27 1985 1/2° GM on my FTCKY maps.

Been up to 20° to 30° level planet wide.

Always look at your GM angle and use accordingly.

Have seen many no go,s on EIB and NCO schools day and night land course,s world wide due to danny dumb azz forgetting to convert GM angle.

It's always changing and in the last 20 years of so it's been moving faster. For years it was about 16 degrees here but now it's about 12.

Declination here used to be around 22* or so here. Were less than 15* now.

I knew it was changing, don't often use a compass, but simply wanted to correct the ones i have.

7 degrees? So magnetic north is more toward the true north? Seems odd.

I'm sure it's changed a bunch if you live in an area where a high percentage of folks got the magnetic jab!

Back it 2019 we did a star shot off polaris at the Rocky Mountain National Rendezvous. With 18th century equipment. We came up with 7 degrees north at our location.

We have a new table table coming especially for the purpose of shooting a star shot proper. Hopefully I will be back with a report on the results. With photos!
