How do you calibrate a ProNav compass?

The ProNav Gen 2 compass is self-calibrating.  You only need to calibrate it if MarkSetBot Support tells you to.  Upgrade to ProNav 2.2.96+ before running this routine.

 

NOTE: Make sure the area you are calibrating in his flat and free of compass interference.  Do this with a hand-held compass and verify the compass doesn't jump around as you walk an area.  Grassy areas are usually a safe bet.  This process cannot be done on an incline because the accelerometer and gyroscope are also calibrated during this process.

 

NOTE 2: Make sure you don't have anything metal on you while you are doing this process.  Most likely problems are watches, rings, buttons on coats, and car keys.

 

NOTE 3: Have support remotely kick off a hard calibration routine or use https://app.marksetbot.com/pronavble (this only works on Android and Windows)
