There is True North, Magnetic North and Grid North, and they generally do not match up. You must consult the declination diagram which is normally at the bottom of your map. It will give you the difference between all of the "Norths" in degrees. To convert from compass to map, and visa versa, you must do the adjustment for the declination.
