As low as possible in the green. If compass is bad you will receive warning.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I see from the Mavic 2 series compass calibration manual of Oct 16, 2018 that is shows you can have a  value of 106 and still be within the green, as well also a value at 30.
Mine show a value of 31, so I guess that that is a good value.
Thank you again for your kind reply and confirming this for me.

I feel stupid.. Didn't even know there was a number value associated with the compass. It says calibrate, I go through the procedure. If it doesn't, I fly. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

Hi,
Still learning a lot about my newly acquired drone and have only done some test flying on an open field yet.

Sweden is great in summer, but now we are going towards autumn and its getting a bit darker and grey. Trees are still green though. Probably similar to Ireland. About 14 deg C day time here in the middle of Sweden. Would prefer to go south to about 20 deg off the equator and use my new drone to film some nice little island with green palm trees, clear blue sky, white sand and clear warm blue water. But unfortunately no planes are going south yet.
Welcome to Sweden.

Hi Trevor,
The number on the left hand side of the green line is hard to see in the picture in the manual that I have. But luckily the drone is smart and advise when its time to calibrate.
Cheers

Hi all, does anybody know what happens if you fly without calibrating the compass when it says to?  Is it normal to have to calibrate it often?  Thanks

That's a complicated topic and it would be better to ask it in a new thread.
But it depends on why your drone was showing the message.
