COMPASS & AZIMUTH TRUE SOUTH
I TAKE IT A COMPASS (MAGNETIC) IS TRUE SOUTH WHEN IT IS POINT TRUE SOUTH?
THERE IS NO + OR - FOR IT BUT WHEN YOU ARE USING A GEOGRAPHIC NUMBER LIKE AZIMUTH, THEN THE + OR - FOR GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION HAS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE FORMULA.
EX: TRUE SOUTH WITH A COMPASS IS 180° (MAGNETIC)
TRUE SOUTH WITH A GEOGRAPHIC SETTING IS 180 + OR -
THE LOCATION YOUR IN.
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE. CURRENTLY I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER COMPASS IN THE MORNING, I THINK MINE IS ACTING UP.
THANKS
ARTHUR
