Does anyone know if the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx automatically adjust for "declination" or should it be adjusted manually?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I am pretty sure you don't need to adjust it for declination.

In the Heading section of Setup, if you select North Reference to be Grid or User, you can set a custom value for magnetic variation. If you set it on Magnetic, it looks like it automatically calculates and displays an unmodifiable current variation value; at least, it's correct for my current location. And on True, there's no variation visible or set.

Hm, very interesting.  I'll have to play with it on my 60csx.
