Yes you do. follow the directions. It took a while before it started to work. Had to drive in circles quite a few times.

John, I have the type 2 digital compass. I set it on auto calibrate mode and it took several days before it calibrated. But it hasn't been a problem since. Not perfectly accurate but acceptable.

You do have to calibrate it and it's not easy to do. Mine finally calibrated and then broke after it fell due to the poor monting .

No good, I took 2hrs to try to calibrate this compass and never could get it to work.

In my hands it never worked although I tried everything I could think of. I really hoped for an in-car compass

I am really disappointed, it needs to be re-calibrated frequently and is not reliable. I paid more than this for mine and it lays on a shelf in my office. I think one must spend close to $100.00 or more to get a good compass.

There is a button that has light written on it. Do not see anywhere to calibrate the compass. Directions are not close to being correct.

It orients to a magnetic north, but if you plan to use this for hiking or navigating unknown areas -- I'd pay a few more dollars and get a "real" compass. It works, but it truly isn't a device you should rely on for "stable directions".

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

I did a Google search for the bits and found only one for $52.00 You might try calling the 800# for Oliver Intellicarve and hopefully get additional information I could not obtain. Good luck...

The website also has it for $2199. You have to add it to your cart. The circular in the Sunday paper also listed it for $2199.

That compass takes 2 mm lead refills. You should be able to purchase these leads at an art supply or engineering supply store.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.

I never got around to getting mine yet so I would be interested in finding out this too. Don't want to spend too much, but definitely want something accurate and durable.

P.S. I just did a random search in E*ay and found this: item#:331251415038There you can see all you could possibly ask for

hopalong... how much was it when you first saw it? I see it for $616 currently...

It appears you could buy one from The GPS Doctor through Amazon for $499 plus $9.89 shipping and handling. However, you might want to consider the Rino 655t with topo maps that showed up in my Amazon search for about $15 more. Don't get me wrong. I love my 530HCX and it has served me faithfully for several years. But, I would definitely be buying the newer model if I was choosing now.

I haven't seen it on Amazon, but it is on the komando site for $49. http://shop.komando.com/dual-lens-dash-cam-gps-accssory

Do let us know what map version ships with your unit. FWIW, the price was $5 cheaper last week, then they raised it $8 this week, and subsequently lowered it $3. No clue..

I went on Walmart's site just now and I found the unit at the very bottom of the Pioneer 518 page. However they say they are not selling it online right now. Maybe there was a bit of trouble because the price was so low. Sorry to mislead you. They do have the 918 though for 238 which I bought and it sounds great. See you guys.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.
