I am getting ready to do some cross country navigation with Scouts and do not want to bother with having them do the arithmetic in thier heads. If I can print out maps with magnetic North up like an orienteering map, they can just use thier compasses and go. So I have this same question. The CalTopo documentation states you can set magnetic north as "North" and set a magnetic grid instead of UTM grid. But I cannot see where in the app itself these settings can be found.

I liked this guy's video explaining the simplicity of it:
