Do you really need to do a Compass Cal every time you move to new location?
My assessment/Observations w/ my own MP is, I don't need to even when given a SW warning that I have to.
Background, I live in N CA and after I received my MP last 03 2017 I perform the initial Cal (IMU/Compass).
Flew it around N CA then took it to 4 islands of Hawaii, proceeded to Canada BC all the way to Victoria and back to N CA via road trip (Washington,Oregon,N CA) last summer. Now I just got back from the Philippines, Zamboanga to be precise, not once that I needed to do another Compass Cal in any of those places. I did a get a warning a few times of Compass Error and Interference, but by just moving the MP a few feet away from the problem spot it'll just go away. What I'm trying to say here is that, you don't need to do a Cal every time you move to diff location; maybe sometimes you get a SW warning that you need to Cal, just try to move your MP a few feet away from that spot and see what happened. Maybe you have a diff observations w/ your own MP regarding this so, please share.
