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?

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 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? -- -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com
