Declination for Nautical Products

The service provides the magnetic variation data for nautical charts. The magnetic declination information based on the World Magnetic Model (WMM) valid at the time of display. In addition, areas of uncertain declination mapped for the German coastal area, i.e. areas where the declination of the earth's magnetic field deviates significantly from its normal value.
