My EVO does not compass calibrate normal....

[SilverDragon]

It does not compass calibrate with the camera facing down which is depicted in the instructions. It fails the calbration (all the time) when I spin it around 360 degrees. What gives?

Is this what you did? Waiting on mine... Hoping to be well versed in how to troubleshoot it before I open the box.

When I spin 360 degrees with the camera facing up instead of down it calibrates ok.

Mine works facing up also, but not down as it's supposed to in the directions. I've found I only need to calibrate it after a software update or if I travel to a completely different location quite some distance away. I've heard others say it doesn't need calibrating unless it tells you to... I don't know.

Magnetic interference in close (within 200') proximity could be the problem. Magnetic interference can be caused by a number of different electrical and metallic sources. Try calibrating it in a new location - a few hundred feet or so, away from where you were originally trying to calibrate it.
