Identification

[edit]

Landmarks are indexed by true compass bearings. Using a magnetic compass[1], an adjustment must be made for variation[2]. As of July 2008, the correct adjustment for this location is 18° 5' East[3]. The bearing read on a compass must be increased by 18° to convert to a true bearing as used in the table. Subtract 18° from the bearings shown in the table to find the locations by compass bearing. Note that the bearings are only accurate for the position from which they were taken.
