I drove in circles in an empty church parking lot to set my compass. It was set to Kansas City and I changed that and then set the compass using the instructions in the owners manual.

copied from 2004 f150 owners manual:

Compass calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all
vehicle doors are shut.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. To enter the compass calibration
mode, press and hold the button for
greater than eight seconds. The
display will then show CAL in the
display window.
3. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) in circles until
CAL indicator turns off. As many as 5 complete circles may be required.
4. The compass is now calibrated.
