My compass went berserk after using a magnetic tank bag. I tried riding around in figure of eights to no effect. I then tried to recalibrate it with a magnet which failed. I gave up and kept riding the bike. A couple of days later it started to work again.
As for the display the display letter (s) tell you your direction of travel plus or minus 45° and the arrow indicates north. I think that the compass may help if you were completely lost.

Right, I made a concerted effort to calibrate the compass today, 27 (I counted 'em) consecutive figure of 8's in a nice big, gravelly layby. I will say the Himmy is a doddle at this type of thing ....... compass still not working though. I'll have a go at using a magnet and, if that doesn't work, will contact our local occult sect (there are a few in the New Forest) and see what sort of deal Beelzebub will do me to have a go :D
