Calibrating the Compass
NOTE: You must calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. Do
not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as
cars, golf carts, buildings, or overhead power lines.
Your device was calibrated at the factory, and the device uses
automatic calibration by default. If you experience irregular
compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or
after extreme temperature changes, you can manually calibrate
the compass.
