Any reference on how to get the magnetic declination and annual variation of a geographical point?
OK.

By remote source already solves me.

If I can calculate and it's simple, I'm interested too.
OK.

there's the program with the source code https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/geom_util/gmpole.shtml
it calculates only the position of geomagnetic pole (no declination)
and it does not look simple at all

This URL return the two values I need (magnetic declination and annual variation). Can you make the program call of this calculator?

Got it:

Code: [Select]
(SETQ XML (vk_ReadXML (STRCAT "http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/calculators/calculateDeclination?lat1=" (RTOS LATGR1 2 8) "&lon1=" (RTOS LONGR1 2 8) "&resultFormat=xml")))
OK.
