    Without a doubt, the best video covering magnetic declination I have watched. Simple, easy to follow and very professional.

    I never thought watching video about a compass could be this interesting. Thank you!
  • @vstol
    The animation showing how magnetic north changes in relation to true north from different locations was very clearly represented. In all, a very well made video.  Thank you.
  • @Lumencraft-
    The part about True VS Magnetic starts at 5:30. Thanks for sharing ScienceOnline.

    This is easily the best video on youtube about compasses. Perspicacious with an inviting voice, the narrator kept my attention.

    You could literally get a complete high school education and some college education just by watching this channel. Every video is so interesting and very well explained!

    Thanks for clearing up several issues I had with reading a compass. I also enjoyed the history lesson you offered. Very good stuff!

    This was the only Y that made clear the meaning and compass adjustment of declination. Thank very much.
  • Rarely sir do I leave a comment, but this was by far the best video to answering this question .. Thanks
  • I had land nav in the U.S. Army and you made the explanation much simpler than they did.

    " the south magnetic pole is actually near the geographic North Pole, as opposites attract. " Or something like that. I have taught navigation for many years, and I never thought of that simple concept! That tidbit alone made this wort watching, thanks!
  • Great video. Very clear and concise. Narrator has excellent delivery. Thanks
  • @Victoria-jo3wr

    This is a very well-done video. The narration and information presented his pre-quality. However, if you're looking for the topic of the title, true North versus magnetic north, you can skip ahead to about five minutes. Prior to this is some interesting history that's not really related to the stated topic.

    Simple but very good basic explanation for a lot of folks.
