Compass page should be updated with this wisdom from Sean:

The calibration is automatic and continuous unless you "lock" it.

The calibration window, is only a client and just a visual display. There can be any number of these. You can connect to the pypilot server to see the calibration on a remote host by typing "pypilot_calibration host" on the command line.

The calibration only determines the 3 compass bias, the overall magnetic field strength and the inclination. These values need to be continuously updated to ensure correct operation.

It doesn't find the alignment to level (2 angles) or the alignment to the compass (1 angle) which need to be manually set whenever the sensors are remounted in the boat.
