In setting up the anemometer I had to set it to magnetic north, being in
central fl. I know the difference is not much but having been employed at a
testing lab for over ten years I know "close enough is not a value" If
anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.--


Any decent map will have the magnetic correction on it... usually a
small arrow and the number of degrees from TN.


Isn't there a daily variation? And an annual one?
