Does the Assistant software account for magnetic declination?
A. Yes. The software is working with the reflection itself and not the diagram underneath. When you enter the zip code and set the level and compass for magnetic north/south, the Assistant software knows how much the image needs to be rotated for declination. If the shading in the photo seen at the bottom left of the report doesn’t seem to match the tracing on the diagram on the bottom right of the report, then you accidentally set your declination improperly on the Pathfinder unit itself. The Assistant software will automatically account for declination based on the zip code or latitude/longitude you entered.
