Compass inaccurate

While driving through Texas I switched to the compass in the Instrument panel (IP or combination cluster). I noticed that my Google map said I was going one direction and the vehicle said I was going at a right angle to that direction. Turns out Google maps was correct. Any idea how to calibrate the built in compass? I looked in the owner's manual, nothing to be found. Or did I miss it?

 

If you are navigating in Google map, waze, or Apple, your truck compass will point north.

Any other direction, I have no idea. That would be a new one to me.

 

Obviously not the same but on my home link rear view mirror with compass there is a procedure for calibrating that involves entering a calibration mode then driving around in figure 8s or circles.

 

Same with my '02 Duramax, which I sold today. It was a good truck, hope it serves the new owner as well as it did me.

 

If it followed Google or pointed north I would get it, it does neither.

 

if the compass PDI was not done correctly, there is procedures in the manual to re-calibrate it.

 

I could not find any reference to the compass on the online manual while traveling. Now that I am home I will check again in the printed version.

 

it may not be in the owners manual. it could be a supplemental insert that came with all the manuals.

 

i cant find it in the owners manual. i know prior to 22 tundra's they had a section in the owners manual on how to re-cal the rearview mirror for the built in compass. not sure where its pulling the compass reading from now.

 

also found a recently old thread

If you are navigating in Google maps via CarPlay the compass will lock up and not show the correct direction. Who knows why? But it does. I had a thread on this a couple months ago. See the post above for link.

 

Just a heads up, if you use Waze instead of Google maps the dash compass works fine
