I use the map most of the time, but im use to using the indicator to know sometimes when my signal gets weak, to know if im actually pointing antennas to the drone. ..no big deal with it not reading right, but would be nice if i could fix it.

The issue is that the compass in the smart controller is being deflected by magnetic influences in the smart controller.
Recalibrate the controller's compass (not the one in the drone).

Hello there. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. As posted above kindly please try to calibrate the compass for us to be able to isolate the said issue. Thank you.

I have calibrated the controller 3 times.......the drone compass is correct, just the blue controller indicator is not reading correct. I also tried calibrating in different locations

See? The controller indicator is off. I have tried recalibrating controller compass like 20 times in different locations.

How odd. Have you updated to latest FW and Fly App version on SC? Do you also have the regular controller and get the same results with the compass direction being off?
