Misapplied Magvar?

I'm testing out the setup for ZSE, and am running into an issue where the magvar and true courses don't align with what I would expect.

 

JINMO -> WHAMY, via "LA (T when getting True bearing)" is shown in vERAM as

BEARING * 190 MAGNETIC

BEARING * 175 TRUE

 

but the value should be closer to

BEARING * 175 TRUE

BEATING * 159 MAGNETIC

Owen, can you export your facility file and put it up somewhere that I can download it?

I actually don't need it ... I tested on my own system and it's definitely adding when it should be subtracting ... no idea how this didn't get caught during testing. I guess we didn't use the LA command much.

 

I'll have an update out soon.

This has been fixed in the version I just put up for download. You can get it via the download page on the vERAM site, or via the automatic update system in the client.

This is why Ross is the man. Less than an hour later and the problem is (supposedly) fixed.
