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.
East was focal for ancients as they were before magnets and hadn't explored far enough to see the sun or moon trace a full circle. Today we use north as our focus as we understand two points on a planet remain stationary throughout its rotation; the north and south poles. Which would have been called "sinister" and "solar" by the ancients. Funny stuff.
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!
" 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!
Nicely done! Good level of details and straight to the point. Narrator has a good tone of voice and diction. Thanks for your contribution and spreading your knowledge to others.
Hello to the Ottawa Valley, from Toronto. Thanks for the explanation on declination. I have enjoyed my map & compass over the years but was always confused about East and West declination adjustments on my Silva. Now I understand
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.
I find it astonishing that such simple concepts, like "True" north verses "Magnetic" north need to be explained to "Educated" adults! These are things I learned in school, by the 3rd or 4th grade! But this was way back in the 1950's when Children actually got a vastly better "Education" then is offered today! Also, if you were in the Boy Scouts in the 60's, it one of the VERY FIRST principles you learned! Cheers!
I had to look at the 4:50 to 5:12 minute mark of this video at least 6 times to finally get the full meaning of what was being explained..and then I got it..a very interesting fact that gets overlooked by most lay people like myself..thank you for a great explanation sir..
The etymology of east is certainly right, for north it is up for debate as far as I know. Either way I love that you're using etymology to explain meaning behind these concepts and show people they are not just hollow sounds.
I really enjoyed this video. Especially about all Compasses pointing North and not North and South at the same time. I’d like to see a video where the compass was pointing in relation to the Pole star.
1:40 Don't do that pointing with a single arm to your left or right, you will most probably pivot your shoulder without being aware of it and thus pointing too much left or right of the real North/South. Always spread out *both arms* to the left *and* right in a most perfect straight line possible and then align both straight arms with the sun in the most accurate 90° angle (watch at your shadow being perfectly lined up behind you as well). Then turn only your head to the left (or right) and aim using either arm to find at least two waypoints in alignment with one of your arms. This way you make sure your shoulder and hence also your arm is not unwittingly pivoted and misdirecting you.
Magnetic north and south poles are not actually a point but a magnetic huge circle located at 80 latitude parallel. Its where magnetic field lines go in and out of earth creating a huge magnetic circle. If a person goes inside this magnetic circle, compass will go haywire.
Good video. The bottom line is the vital necessity of at least ONE reference point by which other things can align to. In this case, the stable reference point is a magnetic needle points to magnetic north. Even though it changes slightly it can still be used as a stable reference point if you know the rate of amount of change annually etc. Which is printed on maps for your edification. When people get lost they are lacking even a single reference point.
I never thought watching video about a compass could be this interesting. Thank you!
Makes me think dam I was lied where north was?
Totally agree!
I know, I thought that too. And such a beautiful voice x
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.
Without a doubt, the best video covering magnetic declination I have watched. Simple, easy to follow and very professional.

This is easily the best video on youtube about compasses. Perspicacious with an inviting voice, the narrator kept my attention.
East was focal for ancients as they were before magnets and hadn't explored far enough to see the sun or moon trace a full circle. Today we use north as our focus as we understand two points on a planet remain stationary throughout its rotation; the north and south poles. Which would have been called "sinister" and "solar" by the ancients. Funny stuff.
Bill Rabara, Kudos Sir. You are an accomplished sesquipedalian.
Agreed, very informative
The part about True VS Magnetic starts at 5:30. Thanks for sharing ScienceOnline.
Matt Smith I saw this right at 5:34 lol... now I know to look at comments first 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed the little history bit
Thank u for saving my time bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Smith thank you

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!
This was the only Y that made clear the meaning and compass adjustment of declination.
Thank very much.
welcome
This is the best explanation I have yet come across on this topic. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for clearing up several issues I had with reading a compass. I also enjoyed the history lesson you offered. Very good stuff!
it is a thank you

Nicely done! Good level of details and straight to the point. Narrator has a good tone of voice and diction. Thanks for your contribution and spreading your knowledge to others.
I had land nav in the U.S. Army and you made the explanation much simpler than they did.
Great video. Very clear and concise. Narrator has excellent delivery. Thanks
This is the third video I've watched on this topic, I've understood it completely from this video alone, great video👍
This is so very well done, it's astounding!
Thanks for this. Straightforward and not overly simplified like many educational videos I find
Best explanation for me thus far on CZcams…thank you!
Straightforward and very helpful , great video mate!!! Thank you from AUSTRALIA 👏
Thanks for creating/sharing. This was very insightful, useful, and easy to understand.
Awesome! Thank you for the excellent video (clear, concise, educational, and entertaining).
This is an AWESOME video! VERY well done! Thank you!
Great video, got way more out of it then what I was looking for. Loved it!
Amazing video, I understand this topic MUCH more than I did before. Thank you.
Explained well. One of the few I've seen where the use of the magnetic declination scale is demonstrated.
What a video!! Too clear ! nice
Simple but very good basic explanation for a lot of folks.
Very informative & helpful short video on how to read Compass correctly! Thank You So Much! 🌍
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Appreciate to this precise and comprehensive video, it has answered all my questions!
I learned a lot watching this video. Thank you for sharing.
Rarely sir do I leave a comment, but this was by far the best video to answering this question .. Thanks
Wow what a great clear speaker best video for me of the year.thank you.
couldn't resist myself from applauding. Great explanation !
thank you so much for being so clear and precise.
Very well explained - Just what I was looking for! Thank you :-)

I look forward to your orienteering video. thanks for all of the great videos.
cheers, sean
Thank you. Another interesting video. Most of these facts are new to me, so it's very entertaining and yet - educational.
Good video and explanation.
Many text and websites incorrectly state that geographic north pole is also magnetic north pole.
Excellent description of declination. Thanks.

thank you very much for this very informative explanation, made things a lot easier for me...great video!
A much better explanation than I can give for my son. Thank you.
The best explanatory video EVER!!!
That was a great explanation. Thanks a lot for your time & trouble.
You really explained and teach perfectly. Thank you
I took Geology at Grossmont College. The Professors name is Timothy Cliffe. Excellent Professor and Teacher. And this is dead on. Wayne Browning JR
I love this channel.
Omg I never thought I’d learn so much watching this video!!! 😃😃😃👏👏👏

Awesome explanation and animation. Thank you.
Thanks for this clarification

Wow! Excellent video, well-paced and full of interesting "factoids".

Either way I love that you're using etymology to explain meaning behind these concepts and show people they are not just hollow sounds.
This is the best explanation I've seen so far
Definitely the best video I've seen on youtube yet.. well done!
Finally some proper explanation of magnetic declination. Thanks!

Love thís with very clear explanation

you are a good teacher ever!
A very well made video, thanks.
Your video is clear my distraction on behalf of True North and Megnatic North
Beautifully explained. thanks
Excellent. Thank you.
keep them coming you rock!!
what a easy explanation? thumbs up...
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. :o)
Fine
This helped so much! Thanks.
Excellent explanation...thanks!
Very informative, thanks for sharing.
Thank you man this was a good video
thanks for this amazing video

Xeno Bardock would you get cancer if you were to live in that circle you think?
Wow! I love this video!
Amazing information!
Great video, thanks
Very well done!
Could you provide us with a direct link to the next video you were referring to in this video? 😄
thanks for great information
Great video !
Thanks a lot for this video
Thank you, very interesting.

cant wait for the next one navigating with a compass
Thanks a lot! It's quite helpful!
This was an excellent explanation. One extra points to make would have been to explain polaris role in all this.
Awesome video
Thanks for great video
Very informative, thank you
Thank you, very informative.
Good vid., educational. Thanks.
Came here for the title, didn't expect to actually learn navigation with map and compass, and a bit of history.
👍Thanks for sharing !
Good to know this much knowledge North south east west
really greatful to you
ur sound is superb.....waiting for next video...
