    Calibrating Garmin 62s ...grrrr...

    Try as I might I can't get the compass on my Garmin 62s to calibrate. Ive followed the instructions time and again. Good clear sky, so reception isn't the problem.

    Any suggestions apart from biffing it into a dam?
    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    Possibly local EM interference (assuming you're calibrating the compass) electrical equipment, anything ferrous an make it problematic. Magnets in bino chest pouch can lead to interesting results too...
