You may have to set the compass for a specific zone and re-calibrate. BBEngineer posted the steps from the shop book in the troubleshooting section at the bottom of this page:

Did you verify your zone before you calibrated? That will play some role in to it.
My Monte did not come with a DIC, so when I added it, I verified the region/zone, then had to calibrate it and it was a 1 and done process (prior to that, it would not read correctly at all). And it did not take long to calibrate, drive in a circle under 5 mph and by the time I finished circle #1, it was done.

On cars with a sunroof, I believe the compass module is a small board by itself for the DIC. For cars with no sunroof, all contained in the DIC.
Best bet, just replace the DIC if you want to see if that is the source of the issue.
