Geomagnetic latitude

Geomagnetic latitude is a parameter analogous to geographic latitude, except that bearing is with respect to the magnetic poles, as opposed to the geographic poles.

An approximation of magnetic latitude may be made with the dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field, or a more accurate measure may be made with the International Geomagnetic Reference Model.
