Years ago, I think the correction was more like 17 degrees in New
England. I did some work on the geomagnetic field some years ago, and
remembered getting magnetic variations for London, England over the last
few centuries. The pole really does move.

Hello Frantisek and others,
I wonder how much the magnetic pole has shifted.
I have been reviewing the operation of the Brunton Pocket Transit here. It has
an adjustment for declination - the angular difference between the magnetic
North Pole and the true rotational axis North Pole.
Here in Western Massachusetts it has been about 15 degrees East for a very long
time. I wonder if that is changing.

Hi Bob,
did you take in mind increasing magnetic pole (and accompanied aurora oval)
eastern shift from Canada towards Siberia ?
