I continually get the warning to calibrate the compass of the RC. It shows a figure of 8 but 95% of the time, once Ive done this nothing changes. The only way to carry on is to cancel it.

A couple of times it has worked after about a minute and ticked itself but thats rare. Is everyone else continually getting this message?

I can't say much other than to say I get the same message, but I ignore it, probably not a good idea. Any idea what the purpose of the RC compass is?

It's so the app knows which way you are facing and the radar display will work properly for you.
It has nothing to do with the Phantom's flight.

Hi, I had the same once a time with my brand new P4P+. I made the movements and it is gone. My problem now: The red arrow and the N sign are not shown correct. Any idea how I can calibrate the compass in the RC? The calibration in the Go4 App for IMU and Compass I made, and thy looking perfect. Thanks!

I assume this is a P4 or P4P we're talking about?

Does the controller itself actually have its own compass?  Or is the warning referring to the compass in the mobile device?

It must have, because the arrow on the compass will change direction as you walk in a circle, even when your P4P is flying.

Hahaha!  Lol.  At first I thought he was just blowing smoke up our asses. I had no idea there was such a thing. Of course I only on the P3P.
