>> If you set it to "Magnetic North" does it correct for Magnetic Variation automatically or just show magnetic headings like your compass that must be corrected for Declination and Variation. >> The Garmin GPS 12XL, and probably most, if not all, other Garmin models, can correct automatically for declination/variation. You can even find out what your current variation is by going to the Setup Menu and selecting Navigation. If you have Auto Heading selected, it shows your variation in degrees east or west.
