When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It's pain only for others.

It's the same thing when you are stupid.

Which way to adjust my compass declination? Stop the animation at the end. The green line (zero declination) roughly tracks the Mississippi River valley, today. Do you see ...

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north. As the Earth's magnetic field varies over time, the positions of the north & south magnetic poles gradually change. This map displays historical isogonic lines for the years 1590-2020 https://t.co/FuJ3uQLgSS
