The third one is true north on the axis of rotation.

Geomagnetic is not true north.

Geo I believe is the true north on the axis. Magnetic is where the
compass points. The latter is moving toward somewhere in Russia. I
believe there's a third also. Care to name it?

What are they?

What's the difference?

Which one is real ?

Why aren't they the same?
