English: This is a world map of magnetic declination created by the National Geophysical Data Center at NOAA. Français : Carte mondiale de la déclinaison magnétique terrestre créé par le centre national des donnée géophysiques ( NGDC ) de l'agence américaine responsable de l'étude de l'océan et de l'atmosphère ( NOAA ).
Magnetic declination map at sea-level for the year 2010 derived from WMM2010. The World Magnetic Model ( WMM ) is a large spatial-scale representation of the Earth's magnetic field. It was developed jointly by the US National Geophysical Data Center and the British Geological Survey .

With a local declination of 14°E, a true bearing (i.e. obtained from a map) of 54° is converted to a magnetic bearing (for use in the field) by subtracting declination: 54° – 14° = 40°. If the local declination was 14°W (−14°), it is again subtracted from the true bearing to obtain a magnetic bearing: 54°- (−14°) = 68°.

This image shows magnetic declination, or the angle between magnetic and geographic north, according to the World Magnetic Model released in 2025. Red is magnetic north to the east of geographic ...
Magnetic declination from true north in 2000. Historically, the magnetic compass was an important tool for navigation. While it has been widely replaced by Global Positioning Systems, many airplanes and ships still carry them, as do casual boaters and hikers. [27] The direction in which a compass needle points is known as magnetic north.
