I'm new to compasses etc.  I recently purchased the GH-561 because it is a 3 axis compass.  In researching before I purchased I learned there are 2 axis and 3 axis compasses.  The two axis having to be held horizontally to read, and I was under the impression the 3 axis did not have to be held horizontally, which is why I bought the 561.  However, when I hold the 561 at a tilt not too far from horizontal the compass heading doesn't point north. 

Is this normal?  Am I incorrect of my understanding of what a 3 axis compass is?

Dear customer,

Thanks for purchasing GH-561. To keep the best performance of compass, you may need to calibrate compass first. The indicator becomes solid means well coalibrated.
3 Axis compass means it support auto calibration any time to keep stable from mangetic interference. It may become little offset if tilt over 15 degree.

Hope it is helpful for you.
