You take a compass bearing from a map, but you forget to adjust for magnetic declination. What could happen to your navigation, and why is adjusting for declination important?
You could end up walking in the wrong direction—potentially several degrees off course—because the compass points to magnetic north, not true north. Adjusting for declination ensures your bearing matches the map's grid, which is based on true north.
