Hmmm... never heard the term "compass gain" before, a search seems
to bring up but one relevant hit:
http://forum.heinrichsweikamp.com/read.php?6,12967
It seems that "gain" is meant here in the sense of "amplification factor
to adjust the compass input sensitivity", and at another point in this Forum
http://forum.heinrichsweikamp.com/read.php?6,13224
the term is called "Kompassempfindlichkeit", which would fit plausibly,
so I'd use that.

I admit that I've not been investing much time lately thinking about
Subsurface... simply for the (positivie!) reason that Subsurface has long
surpassed the limit where I regard it as mature, feature complete software
for all use cases I'm involved in... :-)

Right now I need to prepare for my upcoming (dive-)trip, and that's
why I had a look at recent Subsurface news.

If there are more German translations missing, I'll try to help next
week, when I have some free time in between dives :-)
