Tide, current and winds do not affect a compass heading. Deviation and variation does. Easiest way to check it is to use your GPS to steer a course directly at the 4 major points and check the compass heading. I don't know that model, but most compasses have adjustment screws on the sides that be used to correct your deviation.
