Take a look at this interesting site. Knowing the location and 
characteristics of the Magnetic North Pole will help anyone remember how to 
correct a compass reading to True North.

Another tip for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Find the time for 
your local sunrise and sunset. Divide that time period by two to determine 
your local noon. At that moment, the shadow of your tower points to true 
North.
