The location of the magnetic north pole is different from the geographical North
Pole.This causes a difference between the true and magnetic north direction.
This difference is called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the
observation point on earth.

you may wish to enter variation manually to refine accuracy. Set. BRG REF. on
the PLOTTER is set to MAGNETIC to use magnetic variation.
