When we were at the competition we had some trouble with an iron barge that the organisers put in the dock. The TCM 3 Compass has hard and soft iron correction algorithms built in though, maybe these algorithms aren't that good or maybe we haven't used them. We should do some research to see what the deal is here, maybe the compass driver can be improved.

Addition: It looks like you can calibrate the compass, haven't read much but if this can be done without the use of the evaluation software then this would definitely be useful, we could sit the sub in the harbour and run some calibration stuff remotely.
