Yes, this is the reason why I usually come this way. No affected by variation or deviation.
In the test only one bearing was took against the true one. The average error is 12.5º2015-06-24 13:36 GMT+02:00 John Brown <NoReply_JohnBrown@fer3.com>:
Andres, you wrote:
For bearings,I use a Hockey Puck, vion mini morin 2000, the problem was that now the error of the Hockey Puck is 12.5º, (tested on land with three different targets. from different places). Before this it was 1/2º accurate, it passed all the winter in the same place, but i think there are no magnetic fields ???
Not sure how your compass error could affect the angles you measured, if it is a constant 12.5°? The bearings themselves would be inaccurate but the differences between them (the angles) should be OK.
