If there is any deviation showing just move and see if it changes, there is also the option to check compass values in your app, I believe that most preflight plans will tell to check this, many don’t bother, but it’s a good indicator, compass whether drone or ships are extremely difficult to get 100% right because of everything at play, so this is why I recommend not just taking off and flying away, when compass clears any interference, it will be IMU that may show problems so the short exercise of up down back an forth etc should give good indication if IMU is off, if there was strong interference on the ground , you may just lift off and drone shoots off and nothing is going to save it then,
If there is any deviation showing just move and see if it changes,
That is my point about 25-degrees or 1/16th on compass face. The red triangle vs. direction drone is actually facing would make it very difficult to detect actual deviation.
Really need RC to provide us with compass reading in degrees. From there, it would be possible to use drone's camera with cross hairs to point drone directly North or South or East or West. Then verify with RC that compass is reading 0 or 180 or 90 or 270 degrees. Only way to do that now would be through FlightLogs, which would be after the fact.
