Without a doubt, the best video covering magnetic declination I have watched. Simple, easy to follow and very professional.

The animation showing how magnetic north changes in relation to true north from different locations was very clearly represented. In all, a very well made video. Thank you.

I never thought watching video about a compass could be this interesting. Thank you!

This is easily the best video on youtube about compasses. Perspicacious with an inviting voice, the narrator kept my attention.

East was focal for ancients as they were before magnets and hadn't explored far enough to see the sun or moon trace a full circle. Today we use north as our focus as we understand two points on a planet remain stationary throughout its rotation; the north and south poles. Which would have been called "sinister" and "solar" by the ancients. Funny stuff.

You could literally get a complete high school education and some college education just by watching this channel. Every video is so interesting and very well explained!

This was the only Y that made clear the meaning and compass adjustment of declination. Thank very much.

This is the best explanation I have yet come across on this topic. Thank you for posting this!

I had land nav in the U.S. Army and you made the explanation much simpler than they did.

" the south magnetic pole is actually near the geographic North Pole, as opposites attract. " Or something like that. I have taught navigation for many years, and I never thought of that simple concept! That tidbit alone made this wort watching, thanks!

Great video. Very clear and concise. Narrator has excellent delivery. Thanks

Nicely done! Good level of details and straight to the point. Narrator has a good tone of voice and diction. Thanks for your contribution and spreading your knowledge to others.

This is so very well done, it's astounding!

Simple but very good basic explanation for a lot of folks.

Awesome! Thank you for the excellent video (clear, concise, educational, and entertaining).

What a video!! Too clear ! nice

Thanks for creating/sharing. This was very insightful, useful, and easy to understand.

This is an AWESOME video! VERY well done! Thank you!

Very informative & helpful short video on how to read Compass correctly! Thank You So Much! 🌍

This is the third video I've watched on this topic, I've understood it completely from this video alone, great video👍

Explained well. One of the few I've seen where the use of the magnetic declination scale is demonstrated.

Thanks for this. Straightforward and not overly simplified like many educational videos I find

Straightforward and very helpful , great video mate!!! Thank you from AUSTRALIA 👏

Great video, got way more out of it then what I was looking for. Loved it!

Amazing video, I understand this topic MUCH more than I did before. Thank you.

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Good video and explanation. Many text and websites incorrectly state that geographic north pole is also magnetic north pole.

Best explanation for me thus far on KZread…thank you!

This is a very well-done video. The narration and information presented his pre-quality. However, if you're looking for the topic of the title, true North versus magnetic north, you can skip ahead to about five minutes. Prior to this is some interesting history that's not really related to the stated topic.

I learned a lot watching this video. Thank you for sharing.

Appreciate to this precise and comprehensive video, it has answered all my questions!

Very well explained - Just what I was looking for! Thank you :-)

thank you so much for being so clear and precise.

Wow what a great clear speaker best video for me of the year.thank you.

1:40 Don't do that pointing with a single arm to your left or right, you will most probably pivot your shoulder without being aware of it and thus pointing too much left or right of the real North/South. Always spread out *both arms* to the left *and* right in a most perfect straight line possible and then align both straight arms with the sun in the most accurate 90° angle (watch at your shadow being perfectly lined up behind you as well). Then turn only your head to the left (or right) and aim using either arm to find at least two waypoints in alignment with one of your arms. This way you make sure your shoulder and hence also your arm is not unwittingly pivoted and misdirecting you.

Hello to the Ottawa Valley, from Toronto. Thanks for the explanation on declination. I have enjoyed my map & compass over the years but was always confused about East and West declination adjustments on my Silva. Now I understand

I look forward to your orienteering video. thanks for all of the great videos. cheers, sean

Magnetic north and south poles are not actually a point but a magnetic huge circle located at 80 latitude parallel. Its where magnetic field lines go in and out of earth creating a huge magnetic circle. If a person goes inside this magnetic circle, compass will go haywire.

couldn't resist myself from applauding. Great explanation !

That was a great explanation. Thanks a lot for your time & trouble.

thank you very much for this very informative explanation, made things a lot easier for me...great video!

Could you provide us with a direct link to the next video you were referring to in this video? 😄

Awesome explanation and animation. Thank you.

Excellent channel!

Excellent description of declination. Thanks.

You really explained and teach perfectly. Thank you

Thank you. Another interesting video. Most of these facts are new to me, so it's very entertaining and yet - educational.

I find it astonishing that such simple concepts, like "True" north verses "Magnetic" north need to be explained to "Educated" adults! These are things I learned in school, by the 3rd or 4th grade! But this was way back in the 1950's when Children actually got a vastly better "Education" then is offered today! Also, if you were in the Boy Scouts in the 60's, it one of the VERY FIRST principles you learned! Cheers!

A much better explanation than I can give for my son. Thank you.

Omg I never thought I’d learn so much watching this video!!! 😃😃😃👏👏👏

Definitely the best video I've seen on youtube yet.. well done!

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. :o)

Rarely sir do I leave a comment, but this was by far the best video to answering this question .. Thanks

I had to look at the 4:50 to 5:12 minute mark of this video at least 6 times to finally get the full meaning of what was being explained..and then I got it..a very interesting fact that gets overlooked by most lay people like myself..thank you for a great explanation sir..

The best explanatory video EVER!!!

Wow! Excellent video, well-paced and full of interesting "factoids".

A very well made video, thanks.

The etymology of east is certainly right, for north it is up for debate as far as I know. Either way I love that you're using etymology to explain meaning behind these concepts and show people they are not just hollow sounds.

I really enjoyed this video. Especially about all Compasses pointing North and not North and South at the same time. I’d like to see a video where the compass was pointing in relation to the Pole star.

This is the best explanation I've seen so far

Clear and concise. Many thanks!

I took Geology at Grossmont College. The Professors name is Timothy Cliffe. Excellent Professor and Teacher. And this is dead on. Wayne Browning JR

Love thís with very clear explanation Thank you for your time..

Excellent. Thank you.

Finally some proper explanation of magnetic declination. Thanks!

Thanks for this clarification Dom

Good video. The bottom line is the vital necessity of at least ONE reference point by which other things can align to. In this case, the stable reference point is a magnetic needle points to magnetic north. Even though it changes slightly it can still be used as a stable reference point if you know the rate of amount of change annually etc. Which is printed on maps for your edification. When people get lost they are lacking even a single reference point.

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

Beautifully explained. thanks

This helped so much! Thanks.

what a easy explanation? thumbs up...

Excellent explanation...thanks!

you are a good teacher ever!

keep them coming you rock!!

Good video, let's say I want to draw a line on the ground using a string in the East to North-East direction, how do I determine this orientation on the ground?

Thank you man this was a good video

thanks for great information

Thank you, very interesting.

Amazing information!

thanks for this amazing video

What direction is the sun at midday on the south hemisphere? Is it the north direction at the south hemisphere?

Wow! I love this video!

Your video is clear my distraction on behalf of True North and Megnatic North

Thanks for this video

This was an excellent explanation. One extra points to make would have been to explain polaris role in all this.

Haven't received it yet, but I just ordered that same compass because I wanted something basic and cheap. That declination scale impressed me, as did the bright, findable color. $5. I have a pricey Silva that I can't find and a new lensatic which I don't really know how to use yet. This one will be perfect.

Very well done!

Could you please provide direct link to your next video, which you were referring too

Thanks a lot for this video

Hi Ottawa Valley, Toronto here. I've tried searching "world table, magnetic declination 2013" but can't find the table you were talking ab out in this video. Could you help me out with the name of the website that carries this information on declination? The 2013 time period is perfect for my model! Thanks for your guidance!!

Great video, thanks

Thanks a lot! It's quite helpful!

Im just wondering if all car gps system equipped with 13 degree declination?

Very informative, thank you

Great video !

Thank you, very informative.

2:04 He says the sun is in the south at mid day. However, this only holds true for the northern hemisphere right?
