RE: [CA11] EV-1 Calibration
After several visits and calibration attempts I think I’ve got the problem identified.

I’m in New Brunswick. Magnetic deviation is roughly -17 degrees. Seems the Axiom is adding 17 degrees. Overriding the setting on the units page does not seem to impact the Magnetic number calculated.

I've determined the EV-1 seems to be able to correctly identify true north. I've used multiple sources and it seems to align.

However, magnetic North seems to be way off. Took me a while to determine the pattern but I believe it is adding a 17 degree declination but my location (NB, Canada) should be a 17 degree subtraction.

The value reported by the panel shows -16.99 degrees but doing the math has it adding the 17 degrees so my alignment on my chart when not moving seems to be off by 34 degrees.

I attempted to override the declination manually on the Raymarine but it didn't seem to have any affect.
