6. True north is the spin axis of the planet, it moves but very slowly
Mag north is dependant on the iron core of the planet and how it interacts with the solar radiation.True north is the spin axis of the planet, it moves but very slowly

7. Declination is the variation from mag north to true north
Mag north moves From 1620 to the present its track is varied
Even on a daily basis it will move up to 85km.Declination is the variation from mag north to true north

8. Grid north is when a mapping system will impose a flat grid on the geoid.
Near the edges the grid and true north will depart.
Local north is not truly correct. For some projects the X,Y grid will not be truly North-South , East-West but my follow some local feature that makes calculations or layout easier.
For many of my projects I will assume a bearing to start with and coordinates of 1000, 5000, 100 to start with to simplified the initial calculations then rotate and translate the system to the control net once it is tied in.Grid north is when a mapping system will impose a flat grid on the geoid.

11. Azimuths and Bearings are sometimes used interchangeably.
360 degrees per circle, 60 min per degree, 3600 sec per degree.
Use the HMS function to convert to decimal and back.
Using the rule of similar triangles you can find the error at a given distance to find an appropriate level of readings required.Azimuths and Bearings are sometimes used interchangeably.
