True North

True North refers to the point where Earth's rotational axis intersects its surface in the northern hemisphere. It represents the actual geographic location of the North Pole. Unlike magnetic north, which varies over time due to Earth's magnetic field, True North is fixed and consistent. Navigators, mapmakers, and GPS systems use True North as a universal reference for accurate direction and positioning. It serves as a foundational point for navigation, ensuring all navigational tools and maps align precisely with Earth's geographic reality.
