| salal: | Hi, I am hoping to find if anyone has any maps of Turkey, specifically Belgrade forest, or anywhere near that. I am currently coaching the Army pentathlon team, and their competition (which includes "orienteering march" - use orienteering maps, airphotos, topos, etc.) is in Turkey this year... as far as I can tell everything is fair in terms of reconaissance. An internet search turned up some map snipets only, and we got the airphoto of the area.
Anyone orienteered there? |

| salal: | No one happens to know the declination in turkey? |

| salal: | Found a calculator!!! 4 degrees W |

| randy: | At this map marker, the declination is "4° 30' E changing by 0° 5' E/year".
I use this site. I don't know much about this stuff, perhaps there is a more accurate or appropriate site. |

| randy: | Interesting, my calculator says "E", and yours says "W". Well, as long as you've found a calculator, should be able to sort it out. |

| salal: | Oops, that was a typo on my part, because I orinally calculated the declination improperly... |

| Dai: | The 2006 Istanbul 5 Days included an event held on a ferry on the Bosphorus - I'm not sure that magnetic declination was relevant at this event? The map was interesting though as it covered three deck levels.
I'm assuming the Istanbul 5 Days website includes enough info to find local clubs, maps, etc? try www.ist5days.com/ |
