Definition
Isogonic lines connect points of equal variation and are printed on magnetic variation charts and in GIS models; agonic lines are the special case where variation is zero, so magnetic and true north coincide. An agonic line currently runs through parts of the eastern United States and another through Europe and Africa, both moving steadily. Following isogonics on a routeing chart shows how much the variation correction will change over an ocean passage.
