E 90° to W 90°
E: East declination (Magnetic north is east of true north.)
W:
West declination (Magnetic north is west of true north.)
•
Note that you can input the declination angle in whole degree units only, so you may need to round
off the value specifi ed on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should
input 7°. In the case of 7.6° input 8°, for 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.
•
You can also use HS1 high-speed movement (page E-6) to change this setting.
•
You can return the setting to 0° by press
A
and
C
at the same time.
•
The illustration, for example, shows the value you should input and the direction setting you should
select when the map shows a magnetic declination of 1° west.

Setting a map and fi
nding your current location
Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you
need to “set the map”, which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with the
actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with north as
indicated by the watch.

Note that map reading skills and experience are required to determine your current location and
destination on a map
