The difference between Geographic and Magnetic North and South is that where a magnet points is magnetic north and where north actually is is geographic north.

Explanation:

The difference between these is called Magnetic Declination. Magnetic Declination is used to find the difference between true north (or geographic) and magnetic north. This can be very confusing and hard to understand, but for more information, go to http://www.magnetic-declination.com/what-is-magnetic-declination.php. It really helped me understand it when I was learning about this subject. I hope this helped :)
