Karl:
If the southern hemisphere (where the Vanagon is RHD, and winter/summer get
turned around, and the drains flow counterclockwise and are not electrical),
anyway, if their magnetic fields are comparable and opposite from the
northern; then my old Navy navigational ditties will have to be rethought...
When accounting for declination...
"True Virgins Make Dull Companions At Weddings"  (figuring true to magnetic)
"Can Dead Men Vote Twice At Elections?"  (figuring magnetic to true)
Maybe down in OZ it's...
"Can Dead Dull Virgins Count at Weddings?"
Up North, waiting for the cold Antarctic blasts.
