RWN – RECHTWEISEND NORD (TRUE NORTH) Wahrer Norden. Richtung des geographischen Nordpols. (Direction of the geographic North Pole.)
MWN – MISSWEISEND NORD (MAGNETIC NORTH) Die vom Magnetfeld bestimmte Richtung, die ein Kompass ohne Deviationseinfluss anzeigt. (The direction determined by the magnetic field, which a compass indicates without deviation influence.)
KWN – KOMPASSWEISEND NORD (COMPASS NORTH) Die Richtung welche der Kompass, inklusive aller Fremdeinflüsse, als Nord anzeigt (The direction which the compass, including all external influences, indicates as north.)
der in der Seekarte vorgegebene Norden ( the north given in the nautical chart) RwN - rechtweisend Nord (True North)
der am Kompass angezeigte Norden (the north indicated on the compass) MwN - missweisend Nord (Magnetic North)
MwN + Missweisung = (Magnetic North + Magnetic Deviation=) rechtweisend Nord (RwN) (True North)
Missweisender Kurs (Kompasskurs) + Missweisung = rechtweisender (Kartenkurs) Karte – Missweisung = Kompasskurs Off course (compass course) + Magnetic Deviation = correct course (chart course) Map - magnetic deviation = compass course
