Difference between true north and magnetic north?
The North Magnetic Pole moves over time due to magnetic changes in the Earth's core. Recently it was near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada and moving toward Russia at about 35 miles per year.
True North is exactly at the axis of the Earth's rotation. A magnetic compass reading (such as a Boy Scout compass) has to have a correction factor applied to get True North. This factor is called the magnetic declination and is different for every place on Earth and is constantly changing. The link below shows a map tracing the declination factors for most of the Earth as they are now.
In New York City Magnetic North is different from True North by about 14 degrees. Near the tip of the Florida panhandle Magnet and True north are the same -- that is, no correction is required.
