Can someone please tell me where to find the magnetic variation on
cmap, I can find the tidal info and everything else but I can't find
the variation?

Any help would be appreciated.

It should be "Built-in" to the software that calculates Bearings to
Waypoints, and Objects. They wouldn't necessarily, actually "Print"
it on the screen, as anytime you ask for a "Bearing" to something
it should show either, a "True", or "Magnetic" Bearing, as determined
by the Selected Preference.

Thanks Bruce but I now can't find where to set that preference, its
probably right under my nose, I can't find it in the config settings
or in the legend. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Steve

Surely it's built into your GPS, which is connected to the software?

Dennis.
