erroneous compass reading

My compass is no longer giving me proper readouts. One day it was stuck on 'NE' no matter what direction I was going. Most of the time now it is off by a little, if I am going north it says NW, and so on.... Is there any adjustments or fixes for this?

Thanks,
Jerry in Mira Loma

thanks for the info, especially the link to the manual!!
I found this to be, well funny, imagine explaining to the LEO why you are driving in circles!

The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads
a direction.

That would be difficult to explain with a straight face..
