Summary:

Magnetic and true north coincide! This is of no great importance but I thought you might like to know. At some point over the next two weeks, compasses at Greenwich will point true north for the first time in about 360 years. You can read all about it HERE.  I remember mapping in Western Ontario in 1968 and thinking it quite pleasant to find there was no declination. So now, mappers in the UK will have the same happy feeling!
