[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 660777, member: 22230"] SS probably for your application as in short distances your probably better to not complicate the maths with declination as it is marginal. Kiss principle applies. Also East depending on going map to compass minus or compass to map plus. You will rarely walk the straight line in any case. Flight or Marine different as long distances involved. As an example flight your also compensating for wind direction and hence why track and heading will rarely be the same, plus over hundreds of miles will of course make a large difference compared to 10 or 20 K or less even. Over a couple of K is probably only a hundred metres in it and from that distance you should be able to see your destination by then. Be it Car or what ever you wished to locate. 👍 [/QUOTE]
