Geomagnetic pole vs Magnetic Pole
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? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Bob Crantz" wrote in message ... What are they? What's the difference? Which one is real ? Extra credit: Why aren't they the same? |
