I have always needed to Google my location's approximate declination to use my compass properly. And when no cell service is available... I am left guessing. After recently breaking my compass and replacing it... I had this idea.
This is a simple base map made very thin with single vectors overlaid then labeled. The idea was to engrave this very small on the cover of my compass.
I needed to accurately place this pattern, since the Cubiio is a bit cumbersome, i made a base mount for it.
The gcode is for a Cubiio Laser Engraver, but the SVG can be sized to anything
