Still not stated here is the following:
Homelock and Compass calibration are very different beasties!
Homelock is hands-off. Your Phantom does it without your help.
Homelock occurs when your Phantom has been sitting on the ground long enough to acquire 7 satellites.
Once 7 satellites are found, it will set homelock and it will flash green fast.
Homelock is a GPS position and height, and can be changed inflight with the S2 switch.
Compass calibration, as I've said, is different. It is for inertial navigation. Your Phantom uses both GPS and inertial nav as a backup.
Compass calibration must follow the two step process (horizontal and tilted), neither of which has anything to do with homelock.
Cheers
