Yes, that's what I mean, you are holding off "x" degrees of drift.
That fact is very useful and given the choice between a true and
magnetic VOR I think I would prefer magnetic for just that reason.


Most are neither. The GRB VORTAC was aligned to a magnetic variation of 1E
in 1965. It's still there, but local magnetic variation is now 3W The
airways are more closely aligned with true north than magnetic north.
