Point of reference: A Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx will give you a GPS
azimuth once your speed in a straight line is above 10 MPH.
Not recommending it, just an observation.

You still need to DF the VOR station to get your direction. guess any radio

Hal,
Actually, there are many stars that can be seen with a telescope (don't
point it at the sun!) during the day *IF* you know precisely where to look.
The sky may be blue and bright... but it's still full of stars.

GPS is not very helpful for direction. It can be used as an accurate source of

How accurate is "very accurately"? How quickly do you need the answer?
I was thinking of a sundial. Normally, you know which way is north an
The nominal accuracy is no better than using the sun as a compass.
Two GPS systems (say TBolts) have to be an amazingly great distance
apart to give a decent azimuth.
Apart from star observations, a gyrocompass is the tool of choice if
you want to add an azimuth to a GPS position.

For me it's getting too time-consuming to watch every small

Most of the time there is near zero traffic and that keeps them from
growing.
For successfully starting a new communication platform, there should be
a unique idea, strong motivation, and sufficient demand.
