Question

why magnetic compass doesnt show exact direction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A compass points to the magnetic north, and so gives a direction that seems different from that of a map (or gps that might be using true north. Magnetic compasses point to the earth's magnetic north pole, and not to the center of rotation, which would be the actual north pole.

Answer 2

HEYA MATE !!

The magnetic compass points to the “magnetic poles” of the earth and not to the true poles of the turning earth. This nearly north pointing behaviour can be out by a few degrees and as much as 40 degrees or more. This error is called declination and is established for all areas of the earth. It is known in local areas by those that use magnetic compasses, like Scouts and boat owners.
