Guys, discuss this as much as you wish, but PLEASE, the correct word is
DEVIATION, NOT
DECLINATION. If the DEVIATION is WEST, you ADD it to the compass indication. If
it is EAST,
SUBSTRACT it from the compass indication.
Might I also add that if you have a plat of your property, and it's usually
required when
you have it surveyed, all the sides have their magnetic bearings on the plat.
Call the
nearest Flight Control center and ask them for the DEVIATION in the
area....home free
