Compass Deviation Magnetic Variation True

ok. going from compass to magnetic if deviation is W then you minus the drift. If its a E then you add. same goes for going from magnetic to true.

HOWEVER - if going form true to magnetic variation is W then you + if E then you -

Put CDMVT on a piece of paper

C D M V T
<---------------- E = - W = +

------------------> E = + W = -

Learn this and all will be tickety boo
