Grid declination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grid declination is the angle between compass north and the north direction defined by map coordinate grid. One map can sometimes have two coordinate grids, consequently there is a grid declination for each of these.
The angle between the north direction defined by map coordinate grid and geographical north is called the convergence angle.
