In the days since GPS was invented, many of us have lost the skill of navigating by a good old compass and map. As a family ...

For individuals using a compass, it means that the direction indicated by the compass needle can change over time. This can lead to navigation errors if the magnetic declination is not accounted for.

Migratory birds can extract positional information from magnetic inclination and magnetic declination alone. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2024; 291 (2034) DOI: 10.1098 ...

They artificially altered the inclination and declination in a way that corresponded to a position in Neftekamsk, Russia, 2700 kilometres away. “That’s way out of their direction,” says Packmor.
