Using the approximate geodetic position of Kampala, Uganda of
00:19:00N and 32:25:00 E as input into the NOAA GEOMAG program (with 3720
feet for Lake Victoria as an estimate for elevation needed for inclination)
I get a 1996 declination of 4.2 minutes east with a annual change of 2.8
minutes.
The program output is pasted here:
Model: WMM-95=20
Date: 1996.000
Elevation: 3720.00 f
Latitude: 0=A7 19' 0"
Longitude: 32=A7 25' 0"
