After a few oddities this AM (Belle was in sight, yet compass was 90 degrees off), I came back and rooted about Al Gore's internet, and found mention of retained satellite information futzing things up. I have noticed the Astro 320 taking no time (IMHO) to sync with the satellites for the past few days when powering on. The cleansing fire of the blessed "Master Reset" was mentioned.
Of course, there seems to be no letters of fire five miles high (Fornax, anyone?) on the net, BUT Youtube has at least one video from Espania....
Before doing this, you might want to save tracks into BaseCamp. If you have maps or images on a micro-SD card, you should pull the card before the Master Reset.
With left middle finger and index finger, hold down Enter and Map (use left thumb to grip 320 from bottom). With your right index finger (or thumb, or your nose, etc) push the power button and release. Continue to hold Enter and Map while it boots. Do NOT continue to hold Power, as holding all three only results in a normal boot.
Once into the Master Reset screen, it asks if you really want to nuke everything, and return to factory? I said YES. It takes maybe 1-2 minutes, if that.
I re-paired with my DC50 collar, went in the back yard, put the collar up on a rose trellis, walked out about 40 yards, then calibrated the compass twice (very slow and smooth on the flips). Checked the compass arrow, looked fairly close, walked over so the collar was directly left, about the same distance... Needle pointed pretty much dead on. For those into orienteering, I wish I had something like the lensatic compass, with the slit and moveable mirror to really get it right...
