nklr magnetic deviation

====== Does anyone know where I can obtain GPS waypoints for Canada? I just want a list of Lat/Lon for various cities and towns in Yukon and Northern Territory. Regards, -svt- ====== I have an excel spreadsheet with cities of the world that I got off the internet a few years ago, and couldn't tell you where I got it. It contains the following: locations name location 4 digit identifier - unique within country (state if in USA) state code country name country code airport 3 digit identifier if available ICAO name if available latitude longitude For over 13,000 cities in the world. It is large; almost 3MB unzipped, a little under 1MB zipped. I will be happy to send it (zipped of course) to anyone that emails a request for it to me. Steve A. standerson@...

It's 13,000 locations, not 13,000 cities. It sometimes has several waypoints for a city. Usually has one for every airport, I think I may have gotten this from an aviation related site. ====== Does anyone know where I can obtain GPS waypoints for Canada?

No less an authority on survival skills than Mors Kochanski says that even being within one meter of a knife, three meters of an axe, or twenty meters of a vehicle might be enough to cause deviation that can get you in a pickle when you really need a good compass reading. He goes so far as to warn that photographic light meters strong magnets might well seriously influence a compass reading. Chris Astier
