| Definition |
Most quality compasses can be adjusted to eliminate most, if not all deviation error. What deviation remains can be found and documented on a Deviation Card. This card or graph will list the deviation for various compass courses and is referred to by the navigator when compass courses need to be corrected. Some more facts about deviation: * Objects outside your boat can create deviation. You can bet that if you’re 5 feet away from that big green can “11”, it’ll affect your reading. * Don’t forget about everyday objects that you take on and off your boat.

| Context |
After correcting for compass error, the true bearing is obtained. Most quality, hand bearing compasses can give accurate results, often to the degree, but since it is not fixed to the vessel, you cannot construct a deviation card for it.
