I would skip the part about looking for a compass with adjustable
declination/ variation.  We teach boaters to NEVER use this feature as it
will be a different bearing than the Marine compass on your deck, with no
adjustment options.  Don't get confused, don't adjust variation on the
compass.

just 2 centavos.
