The compass is now calibrated.
If no buttons are pressed in calibration setting for 2 minutes., NOMAD will auto-
matically escape back to Compass Mode, without being calibrated.
2.1-2 Magnetic Declination Setting
When possible, use magnetic declination adjustment when using a map with the
NOMAD. A magnetic compass senses Magnetic North and provides a bearing
based upon Magnetic North. However, the majority of maps are drawn to True North,
which provides bearings based upon True North. To make the compass "speak the
same language" as the map, you must adjust the compass for magnetic declination.
Determine magnetic declination from a map, or from the Magnetic Declination
Chart (Fig. 6).
