Types of Compasses Gyro Compass points to True North, is an expensive piece of equipment Magnetic Compass points to magnetic north the compass needle will attempt to align itself red pole pointing toward magnetic north blue pole toward magnetic south Variation Variation is the angle between the true and magnetic meridians at your present position Is different in different parts of the world It undergoes slight yearly changes it is the angle that the magnetic meridian is deflected east or west of the true meridian due to the effect of Earths magnetism is indicated on the compass rose Compass Deviation Deviation is the difference between magnetic north and compass north is the amount that the compass needle is deflected from the magnetic meridian due to the effects of any on board magnetic fields it is not a constant error compass deviation only changes as the ships head changes, these are recorded on a deviation card How do you use the tools while charting? What is the difference between bearing, course, and heading?
