Routes are in True North and not Magnetic North?


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to copy over the routes in each mission over to my own maps.

I could be wrong, but every heading given seems to be in true north and not magnetic north. It was my understanding that all mission planning was done with magnetic north, am I wrong?

Also, the distance seems to be a little off. It'll show a distance of 20 miles with a corresponding line, and then another part of the route will say 25 miles with the line just barely longer than the 20 mile line (more like 21 than 25). I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a realistic 'rough' sketch, or of the measurements are off.

I know these are picky but I'm really interested in the navigation aspect.
