You should calibrate the compass outside in an area that's not near any magnetic metal objects (e.g. don't do it on a sidewalk).

Thanks misinger is it nomal not to have to do a firmware update out of the box
 
It all depends on how long your Mavic was sitting on the shelf before it got to you. Since they are still in high demand, most are probably being shipped with the current firmware.
 
The App will recommend/tell you about firmware updates when they are available. As per msingers comment this probably won't be required at the moment as the last firmware update was a few weeks ago and stock is still in high demand.

Personally I'd only do calibrations if the app tells you to, DJI know best (I hope) - I've not done ANY calibrations yet.

Start outside in good weather with lots of open space - take it steady and enjoy.
