Important Development for Mapbooks!

As reported by multiple industry news services, in late January 2021 SharedGeo released a free Magnetic Declination Diagram Service, thereby solving a cartographic problem which has long plagued the GIS community. This is an important tool which greatly simplifies the creation of the diagram during production of USNG mapbooks. Learn more at: https://mdd.sharedgeo.org/
