Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already 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.
- From your main menu Select Compass.
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and select the 3 horizontal lines (Menu) > Select Calibrate Compass > Select Start.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
