 To compute this value, the application needs to know your physical location. It will first try to use the GPS location or the network based location if available, otherwise it will use the location displayed at the center of the map. Most of the time you just need to be sure that the map points your current location to get a correct declination and fix your problem. To compute this value, the application needs to know your physical location.
