I believe someone in the past wrote about this, but I am going to write about it again: How to check and know how accurate your map dowsing shots really are, then adjust as needed.
Pick a city, any city.
Map dowse for that city's hall.
Measure the distance from where you are to that city.
Measure the distance from your dowsing X spot to that city hall.
Determine the direction from your dowsing X to that city hall.
Log all this information down and after many dowsing shots, you will know how to adjust in any direction for better accuracy over any distance.
My map dowsing shot statistics right now show I am hitting South West of almost all city halls.
This method of sharpening your map dowsing skill could get you closer, if not right on target, assuming it has not been found and removed by someone in the past.
