-to obtain the magnetic heading if the variation is westerly, add it to the true north heading
-to obtain the magnetic heading if the variation is easterly, subtract it from the true north heading
-to obtain the compass heading if the deviation is westerly, add it to the magnetic heading
-to obtain the compass heading if the deviation is easterly, subtract it from the magnetic heading
