calibrate temp gauge

Is there any way to calibrate the temp gauge?

Mine has never moved past 1/4 since new.. I know that it gets hotter than that. I have also changed out the sender and no change, must be in the gauge.
 
Mine (when it worked) sat at about 1/4 until I'd stop driving after I put a 180 degree T-stat in it...but it'll rise once the car isn't moving.

I'd try switching the gauge first, but I bet there are ways to fix it. Maybe just figure out what resistance to add to the circuit to place the needle in the right range of motion. Just swapping the temp gauge should be easier and faster.
