True North

tip:

Look for the magnetic north with the compass, read their geographical
coordinate in the GPS,
use this webpage
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp
and calculate the magnetic declination for their place.
You will know where this the true north using the magnetic north + / - the
degrees of magnetic declination.

How i find my north!

At noon always using standard time i pointed the beam in the direction of
top tower pole shadow on the ground. Quite simple and accurate
enough here.
