Patrick, you're on the right track.  If it's -17.5 mag declination, then your 
compass will read low, so 60 to 70 should be 77.5 to 87.5 degrees....more like 
the middle of the South Atlantic!  I really like the Google Earth idea of 
Chris'....I'm going to have to try that one for my Beverages on the 
Charlottes.......Walt.
