12.18 firmware

when i stop moving, the map is rotated slightly off, it points to the side about 20 degrees, at the same time edge 530 rotates map correctly. i tried to calibrate it without success.

is this expected behavior?

I have the same problem with my stem-mounted Edge. But when I take the device off and raise it by 30 cm, the compass points correctly.
It seems that there is a magnetic interference.

I had the same Problem and it seems to be about the angle you're holding it at. Almost parallel to the ground = weird stuff happens. Angle it up and everything is fine, as if it would try to correct for screen rotation. It's the same on my wife's and mine. It never happens to her though because it's mounted to the stem and hers is at an positive angle, while mine is -6, which is ok, when straight but not when I turn the handlebars in.
