One way of compensating declination in a compass is calculating the declination and then adjusting the compass.
A compass is an instrument that points at the North of the Earth. This instrument is used to:
- Finding a specific direction (north, south, east, west)
- Navigating
Despite this, at most locations on the Earth compasses are slightly inaccurate as they do not exactly point to the north, this slight change is known as declination.
This issue can be solved by following these steps:
- Calculate the declination angle
- Use a metal key that comes with the compass and insert it in the adjusting screw
- Adjust the compass based on the declination angle
