Compass Deviatrion-Compass Card
Learning Coastal Navigation using my compass as a primary and the GPS as a backup. I know what causes deviation (metal close by the compass) but how can I create a compass card? I was thinking that I take the boat for a motor and write to differences between by on board compass and the hand held GPS. Write all the difference at incriments of 10 degrees and go from there.

Will that work?

Cheers
