Apply calibration to a route
Calibration does not affect a route just because you opened the calibration workspace.
To make calibration matter in the planner, you usually need to do two things:
- save the calibration as a profile
- assign that profile to the current trip or to future trips
Step 1: Check the calibration in preview
Before you commit anything, use preview to confirm the calibration direction looks better than the default behavior.
Preview is for evaluation.
If you only want to compare behavior temporarily, stop there.
Step 2: Save a profile
If the calibration looks good, save it as a profile.
This creates a reusable calibration you can apply again later.
Step 3: Assign it deliberately
After saving, decide where the profile should apply.
Common choices are:
- assign the profile to the current trip only
- make it your default profile for future trips
- leave the system default active until you are more confident
What users often miss
Preview alone is not the same as long-term planner behavior.
If you want a trip to keep using those calibration settings later, save a profile and assign it deliberately.

What to do next
After assigning a profile, the best final check is to compare the same route with and without it.
