Compass not accurate

Former Member
Former Member
I recently purchased my first GPS unit, an Oregon 550. I wanted to use it for geocaching instead of my EVO phone. But, I’m having problems with accuracy. The turn by turn direction work well, but once I get close to the cache and switch to the compass, it points me in the wrong direction and the distance is to target is not right. Since this is the first time I’ve used a GPS unit I’m wondering if there are some settings that I don’t have right or if anyone can help me with this. I’ve tried recalibrating the compass and it doesn’t help. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mike
