Hey Jaxie, maybe I should repost where you claimed that the variation was
meaningless because you never bothered to use it. Or the time you claimed "dip"
was a function of the compass, not of the Earth. How about when you insisted
that gyrocompasses are incapable of aligning automatically?

But my favorite is:
"a compass never has told you anything other than which way is North and so
never was worth much as a "navigation" tool."

ah... joonny? .... are you, ah, aware that a compass *points* in the
direction

WRONG!!!!


My compass points North(magnetic), regardless of the direction that my "bow
is headed".

What kind of compass do you have?
