Yes, I saw that. Suggestion:

Include something like the text below. Despite the current text being precise, it doesn't seems very friendly for new users.

To make auto magnetic declination work you have to include the coordinates of a reference point in the "*declination auto" command. This is the "representative point" mentioned above in the documentation. These coordinates are the <x> <y> <z> values which should be on the same coordinate system defined by the last previous "*cs" command.
