Yep, ignore the hemisphere as it's not relevant.

I thought i would just throw it out there, but your compass is magnetic, be awear that your metal/electrical items ie. watch, GPS, cooking items etc will effect the deviation of your compass depending on their proximity to the compass when taking a sight.
