Well that's a great idea that I haven't thought of. Usually I set them to
magnetic, but I can't be sure. I'll check it out today and report back.Thanks

Is it possible that your GPS is set to show True heading, while the fluxgate
is showing Magnetic? Ten degrees west variation is probably about right,
depending on where you are in PA.

I have just done my turns to calibrate my fluxgate, and when I correct it
down 10 degrees to agree with my GPS heading shown on my i70 Display, that
heading drops 10 degrees. So between the two of them, I am always 10 degrees
off. I think I am now around 40 degrees low, by the time I figured what was
going on. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so does anyone know what
is going on? I assumed the heading shown on the i70 was coming from my e95
plotters GPS heading. If it is actually coming from my fluxgate, why would
the two be 10 degrees off?
