message will appear on the touchscreen when the compass has been successfully calibrated.
Keep magnetic materials away from the rear view mirror, such as Mobile Phones, Laptops and Radar Detectors. This is
where the compass module is located, and it can cause interference with the compass sensor, and it may give false readings.
