magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to
account for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.

current zone number will appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance zone number on the
map given on the left.
3. Press the "COMP" button until the new zone number
appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button in, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
