    and a couple of last ones

    Deviation is specific to each compass.
    Variation is specific to where you are on earth.

    An easy way to remember whether to add or subtract variation other than the "true virgins" mnemonic is this:
    If you put your compass onto the map - you add variation.
    If you take your compass off the map - you subtract variation.
