215.4 would be your compass heading. Your deviation is the difference.


EDIT: On reading the other thread where you're asking a similar question, I'm not 100% sure you were asking what I thought you were. Ie, I was answering assuming that you had looked up your azimuth/elevation to a specific satellite (ie what you'd use for a fixed dish). Ie if your azimuth was 210 {true}, then your compass heading to that sat would be 215.4 {magnetic}. Actually I used a program I downloaded from USNO, and the deviation for Orlando was more like 5.25, but 5 is close enough.
