However, due to extraordinarily large and erratic movements of the north magnetic pole, an out-of-cycle update (WMM2015v2) was released in February 2019 [4] (delayed by a few weeks due to the U.S. federal government shutdown) [5] to accurately model the magnetic field above 55° north latitude until the end of 2019. The next regular update ...

The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS. The current version, WGS 84 , defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum , and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
A magnetic compass points to magnetic north, not geographic (true) north. Compasses of the style commonly used for hiking (i.e., baseplate or protractor compass) utilize a dial or bezel which rotates 360 degrees and is independent of the magnetic needle. To manually establish a declination for true north, the bezel is rotated until the desired ...
Another global field model, called the World Magnetic Model, is produced jointly by the United States National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly the National Geophysical Data Center) and the British Geological Survey. This model truncates at degree 12 (168 coefficients) with an approximate spatial resolution of 3,000 kilometers.
