Since the magnetic dip is 60 odd degress+ in the uk, and 60 odd degrees- in South Africa, I'm more confused than ever now!
Me too!

Not so sure this is correct.

The pendular design of the card assembly helps minimize (but not eliminate) the dip errors when turning and accel/decal environments.
But surely similar magnitude errors in both hemispheres?

Confused?
