| Dec 17, 2015 at 15:20 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @Liam Based on the answer posted and some other research it looks like the length of your country is 4 times less than the distance between true and magnetic north. I am happy that you are happy to be so wrong :) This kind of highlights how assumptions carried from one location to another can get us in trouble. | |

| Dec 17, 2015 at 13:35 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @Liam your comment caused me to post How much distance is there between True North and Magnetic North just fair warning as I quoted you, and disagreed a bit. | |

| Dec 17, 2015 at 9:48 | comment | added | OddDeer | The title has to be more like "I never adjust for true north", hasn't it? Edited it already. Roll back if it's wrong. | |

I think the title was wrong, wasn't it? Roll back if not.
