N g is geographic or true north, N m is magnetic north, and δ is magnetic declination. Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is the angle between magnetic north and true north at a particular location on the Earth's surface. The angle can change over time due to polar wandering.
Magnetic declination map at sea-level for the year 2010 derived from WMM2010. The World Magnetic Model ( WMM ) is a large spatial-scale representation of the Earth's magnetic field. It was developed jointly by the US National Geophysical Data Center and the British Geological Survey .

English: This is a world map of magnetic declination created by the National Geophysical Data Center at NOAA.

English: How to compensate for w:en:magnetic declination when using a compass. In this example, the declination is 14°E (+14°), so the direction indicated by the compass as north is actually 14° East of true North. Thus, if we read 40° (roughly NE) on the compass card, the corrected bearing is 40°+14° = 54°.
