Funny you were also off to the left...I was quite consistently all weekend.

Congrats on your win!

Mag lines had not been checked and were off 2-3°.

Thanks, Stina!

George, that's what Gail confirmed too. Polar drift (or something like that)?

I heard about that (with the magnetic north lines), but dismissed it because I was left no matter which direction I was traveling...but thinking about it now, I realize that direction of travel doesn't matter. A shift of the declination to the west would do it.
