The GPS in tractors (with the help of RTK) has repeatable sub-inch accuracy.

my huge none knowledge of gps was that its got a variance of up to ten feet. If
thats the case is it a consistent offset so if two receivers are 24 inches
apart it can calculate an accurate azimuth?

With multiple servers it can, even when stationary.

GPS can not give you a magnetic direction unless it is moving. It knows where
you are, but not which direction something else is unless it has a vector to
work with (i.e. you're moving).

I didn't think GPS could give you an accurate direction unless you were moving.
....I could be mistaken.

I already know the manual and visual tricks
Is there a reliable unit for verifying azimuth, gps is all i can assume that
could do this. i see a bunch ranging 3k to 10k that i would guess work pretty
well, is there anything in the 300-1000 budget range that actually works out
there?
