■Calibrating the compass
The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s
magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to the geographic posi-
tion of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect ca libration, refer to “Deviation calibration”.
