Default Compass Mirror: CAlibration in tech article confuses me. help!

I set the thing to the right region (11 for me). Ok the part i dont' get is drving around in circles. Is this necessary if you are plannng to drive for an hour anyway? also, its damn hard to find a place where a complete circles takes 45 friggin seconds! any idea?<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int36.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int36.shtml</a</li></ul>
