Naval Form Terminology
Hello everyone,
Context: The name of the form is LOG-NAVIGATION DATA SHEET. It can even be downloaded empty on pdf from google. In the one I have, the information for a ship´s journey is filled in. There are many terms here I cannot find in my dictionaries.
The term:
In one column, this is written.
"MAG COURSE"
In navigation, I have read there is a difference between the "TRUE COURSE" and the "MAG COURSE". MAG stands for "MAGNETIC".
Under the "MAG COURSE" column, every single space is filled in with an "C".
I would assume a lot of this naval vocabulary, is standardized. So...
My try:
"TRAYECTORIA MAGNËTICA", or
"TRAYECTORIA MAG"?
Thank you for any help.

Hola, Andrés:
He encontrado algunas fuentes de referencia que podrían ser de ayuda:
• "Rumbo magnético (Rm)
Es el rumbo con respecto al norte magnético, es decir, el rumbo marcado por una aguja que no tenga desviación.
Rumbo verdadero (Rv) o de la proa
Toma como referencia el meridiano geográfico, y se empieza a contar a partir del norte verdadero: Nv. Se mide directamente en la carta náutica". Fuente: https://www.nauticadvisor.com/blog/2016/07/28/rumbos-de-nave...
• "Magnetic Course - True course corrected for magnetic variation.
(…)
True Course - The aircraft's course over the ground relative to true north. True course is measured with a navigation plotter and a sectional map.". Fuente: https://www.thebalancecareers.com/aircraft-navigation-terms-...
