I didn't calibrate mine and it is pretty dang accurate. I've got a couple of places where I know exactly how far it is and it has always been within about .01 miles of the mark. It pretty amazing really. I assume they use an average steplength most runners use, so as long as you're not freakishly long-legged or a midget you probably fall pretty close to the normal range.
