I have a map {170 Jokkmokk, VAGKARTAN, Skala 1:100,000}
Unfortunately, I dont speak swedish, and its a slightly older map anyway, {January 2008}
I was wondering if anyone can tell me of a website, or anywhere I can find out what the present declination is?
Or does anyone have a map with that info on it?
My Maps from 2008, so the info on it will be wrong anyway, but it does say on the back cover, +7. Now, I dont know if thats a reference to the declination, but if so, does that mean that the declination should be set 7 degrees easterly?
Im thinking the + [plus sign] means follow the degrees on your compass Easterly?{I.E from 0-360, rather than the reverse which would be a westerly declination.} Is that right?
I would guess its probably a couple of degrees more than it was in 2008, {my maps publication date} and can someone just confirm its an easterly declination I should be setting?
Come on, help please.
And a chance to show off your superior navigation skills.
No guesses please. Just informed fact needed. Thanks.
