What devices navigate using the magnetic field? (Besides your standard hiking compass, of course.)

From the article in the link" "The model is accompanied by software that helps navigation services adjust to the magnetic field's quirks. Users reportedly include Apple and Google, which include it in their phone software."

Nature exists with a stark indifference to humans' situation.

Is the declination still 21 degrees for this area?

Art is an adventure.

About 15 degrees and a half. Per this NOAA online magnetic field calculator. https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml?

Reagan would make the Russkies give the magnetic pole back to Canada.

I use a declination adjustable compass. The bummer is my 30 year collection of maps will have the wrong declination adjustment on them.
