Electronic Compass Calibration: Notes

The electronic compass is capable of distinguishing 8 primary directions:

• North (N)
• Northeast (NE)
• East (E)
• Southeast (SE)
• South (S)
• Southwest (SW)
• West (W)
• Northwest (NW)

The compass calibration procedures establish a base direction from which the compass can work. Once the compass has been properly calibrated, the digital display indicates the direction of vehicle travel.
