Map makers try to align the vertical lines on a map with 'True North' (TRUE). True North is the direction from any location on the earth's surface to the "North Pole". Maps are typically referenced to true north. Because a compass points to magnetic north, not true north, maps indicate the difference between true and magnetic north with something called 'variation' or 'declination'. The amount of variation/declination changes as you move around the earth. 'Magnetic North' (MAG) is the direction in which a compass needle points. Setup Page Heading Page The eTrex Summit can be set to disable the Electronic Compass above a user selected speed. This helps to conserve battery power. Set a time delay before switching to the electronic compass when moving at a speed slower than the user-selectable speed. 49
