On a long cross country this past weekend, I noticed the blue arrow showing the direction of flight (when turned on) was pointing slightly (~5 deg) off the actual course. What was stranger was when switching sectionals, the error went from a left of course error to right of course. Previously, I've found the arrow to be of great use when flying approaches, but the slight off-set was getting to be annoying. It clearly was an error, as I was right on the correct track, with the numerical bearing info showing everything lined up. Anyone else notice this?

Crossing from Detroit North to New York South, and vice versa (right around the finger lakes region). I believe software version is the latest available, 6.5.10.

Actually, when I've used it with approach plates, it's worked just fine.
