Hi new guy here. I have a question. Anyone have an issue with compass calibration? I can't get past the first step. It never completes. Trying to move on to the last two steps results in failure of calibration.
 
Are you talking about gps compass? Or a hand held magnetic? Never had to calibrate either normally they come from the factory ready.
 
I am talking about my Garmin Overland GPS.
Did you fallow these three prestep procedures?


  1. Disconnect the device from the magnetic mount and move away from objects that influence magnetic fields.
  2. Select
    Settings gears
    > Calibrate Compass.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
