How to calibrate a compass

Compasses can sometime give inaccurate directions; this can be caused by a number of reasons. To be able to continue to use your compass you need to calibrate it. Compass Calibration is the process of finding out the precise direction your compass is pointing and, if necessary, making adjustments to your direction of travel based on this information. This process is crucial for accurate navigation. By understanding the basics of compass calibration and making necessary adjustments, you can rely on your compass to guide you in the correct direction during your journeys.

I love your little forays off the subject, particularly those with history. Please don't cut them out!

[JohanBart]

I completely forgot you were talking about calibrating a compass before. Fascinating ‘waffle’.

[flintstone]

Love your lessons and historical teachings. Keep up the fine work.

I would love a trip to the UK and a field course with you!

I’m glad you don’t cut out any of the side topics you’ve claimed you would, always interesting historical information! Thanks for the “degree” of knowledge(pun intended lol)

What an interesting waffle! Keep them all in I say! Good video as usual. Thank you for your effort

[botulf]

Carry on waffling....it is a breath of fresh air!

We have waffle! 😅 Thank you for another great video. And another lesson on history! ❤

Fully agree with all the comments. Love watching your videos for the scientific compass content just as much as the historical "deviations". Thanks for sharing.

One of the best waffles yet! I enjoyed that.

thanks for not cutting out any waffling

This channel is pure education and entertainment. Most excellent.

Absolute gem this man. Surely we all know by now, "I'll cut this out" means here comes the best part. 😄 Both your intended script and the spontaneous diversions are fascinating and fun. You deserve a much bigger audience than will likely be attracted by the channel's topic, important though it is!

An excellent video - on a navigational matter I've often wondered about.

[danshaffer]

I love your humor and historical waffling.

Please never stay focussed. In my opinion, your best moments are when you're not focussed. Loved your explanation of why Britain is called Albion! In all my decades of existence, I never knew, until now.

cheers from France

You have beautiful countryside, and it must be something to sit on a wall that is so many hundreds of years old. Just the sense of history from doing that....

[unclerojelio]

I subscribed specifically for the waffling.

[dougmclaren]

Keep on waffling, it's always interesting.

I open your videos to learn about map and compass, but your waffles make it interesting.
