Compass Variance

Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic

North and Geographic North. To ensure compass accu-

racy, the compass variance should be properly set accord-

ing to the variance map for the zone where the vehicle

will be driven. When properly set, the compass will

automatically account for this difference.

NOTE:

•

A good calibration requires a level surface and an

environment free from large metallic objects such as

buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad

tracks, etc.

Magnetic and battery powered devices, (such as cell

phones, iPod’s, radar detectors, PDA’s and laptops)

should be kept away from the top of the instrument
