<DIV><SPAN class=609504314-09032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
can create your own north arrow that would have the three directional pointers.
Look under Styles in the help for a more detailed explanation. You would still
need to calculate the declination for you map but as you said that is do-able.

<P><FONT face=Arial size=4>I always include a scale and a north arrow on my
maps (actually, I like to use one of the compass roses that comes with ArcGIS)
and tilt it roughly towards "true" north (since my maps are all in the Albers
projection, the only place where "true" north and grid north are equal is just
east of Tallahassee near Monticello or Madison).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=4>I was thinking that on some of my maps I would like
to put the "three point" north arrow that is seen on USGS Topos (Grid North,
Magnetic North and True North).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=4>Does anyone have a slick way of doing this? Or do I
have to find the magnetic declination for the center of my map (I can obtain
that from the USGS website) and adjust for that and grid north manually?
Any suggestions?</FONT></P>
