    Clear explanation .
    Once you've calculated magnetic declination for the current year. I think it's easier to skip the rest of the math to set / point the compass to the correct direction. If mag declination is 15 degrees west, turn the compass dial 15 degrees CCW. If it's 15 degrees east, turn the compass dial CW 15 degrees.

    Finally! I have been struggling to get the declination concept down. MN moves, TN doesn't so the bearing I take on a map with protractor will always be the same. The bearing I take with a compass will be different over time because the MN moves.

    • @fish9529
      @fish9529  6 років тому +3

      Hi Freddy, thanks for the question. The 95' next to the 13° is the same as 1° and 35'. This is the case since 60'=1° (there's only 60 minutes in one degree), and then you have 35' left. So then you add that 1° to the 13° which is already there, and write the remaining 35' next to it. Hence, 14°35'. I hope this answers your question.

    • @fish9529
      @fish9529  Рік тому

      Hi, I just made it up and used it as an example. In the video, I call it "normal" bearing but to be more specific, one should talk about either true bearing or grid bearing. This means, you use either true north or grid north in order to measure the bearing. Many people argue that the difference between true north and grid north is so small that it can be ignored, but you should pay close attention to your teacher and find out exactly what they want. You can watch my other video on how to do a "normal" bearing here: ua-cam.com/video/T40AMljjgrU/v-deo.html

      Hi, firstly you need to find out the most recently updated magnetic declination for your starting point as this changes all the time. You can do an online search to find this out. Once you know the declination, you can work it out. It can be quite complicated to explain, but I have posted a video on the 3 different norths which might help.

    I just want to know the procedure

    • @fish9529
      @fish9529  5 років тому

      Hi there, good question. Let's zoom in on the 95 minutes and forget about Geography for a moment. 95 minutes can also be written as 1 hour and 35 minutes. We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour, but don't forget about the remaining 35 minutes. That's how we get to one hour and 35 minutes. BUT, remember that we are not working with time here. In this case, we have degrees and minutes. One degree is similar to one hour, in that we have 60 minutes in one degree. So if we take 60 minutes (out of the 95 minutes) and write it as one degree, we should add it to the 13 degrees we've already got. This will give us 14 degrees, with 35 minutes remaining. That's why we write 14 degrees 35 minutes instead of 13 degrees 95 minutes. I hope this answers your question. All of the best with the studies!

    I want to ask how do we change that 95 degrees i am writing exam next week

    • @fish9529
      @fish9529  2 роки тому

      Hi, are you talking about that 13°95' at 4:44? The reason we change that is because there's only 60 minutes in one degree, in other words, 60' = 1°. So, you already have 13°, and then you take 60' (one degree) from the 95'. Add this 1° to the 13° and then you have 14° plus the 35' that's left. Hence the answer: 14°35'. I hope this helps. If I misunderstood your question, please let me know. I hope the exam goes well!

    There's a simple formula for the last part;
    TB=MB+/-MV
    the +/- depends on direction either east or west,the MB is magnetic bearing and the MV is magnetic variation or simply the total magnetic change between the two years.
    Nice video tho
