Well, that would also be a mistake as that isn't the proper reference for
the DG.



Perhaps, but it's one that many use and it works quite well if you know the
magnetic azimuth of the runway.

It works well if you know what runway you are on. However, a runway can
be quite a ways off the magnetic azimuth before it gets renumbered so
you could easily be 5 degrees off on your DG setting.
