Not sure if anyone answered the Trutrak question, but yes there is a
magnetic calibration for the trutrak that is in the setup menu and the
manual.  It is used - I believe- as a backup when there is no GPS or
Nav signal and in "track" mode.  If you have any questions call
Trutrak.  They know their equipment and are always helpful.
