Well, tryout of today results:
- removed the GPS magnet
- unchecked compass calibration lock
- sailed out the harbor and did 2 rounds starboard and 2 rounds portside
- still bad fit
But, the autopilot seems to hold the compass course OK (in some regions) but not all.
Sometimes the compass gives a good reading, and the heading in OpenCPN points the ship in the right direction, but in some directions it does not.
I think I'll try another case and / or another IMU.
