The warp excess in nearby spiral galaxies is investigated as well as its earlier interpretation in terms of a magnetic field on a distance scale out to a redshift of 0.3 (out to 1200 Mpc, for H(0) = 75 km/s Mpc). It is shown from a study of the rotation measure data as a function of redshift that such a large scale is unwarranted, and that any warp excess may be rather local and spurious with a small S/N of 1.7. It is inferred that a local intergalactic magnetic field must be less than 50 microG. To facilitate studies on the local supercluster of galaxies, a Virgo-center supercluster coordinate system is proposed, where longitude 0 deg goes through the center of the Virgo cluster of galaxies at the center of the local supercluster.
