I haven't actually done a recalibration but from the book you don't really dial in any corrections. You tell the NAV to calibrate and then drive until it says it's done. It measures wheel pulses and GPS satellite derived distance travelled during the calibration and automatically developes a miles/pulse algorithm from that. At least that's how I read it.
