>Then your GPS has a built in magnetic compass.. Uh... no... that's why I have a compass...
>A TRUE GPS can not tell directions while your standing still. Define 'tell directions'... What a GPS does best is to tell you what distance and bearing one point (your destination, tower, camp, fishing hole, etc) is from where you are right now (i.e. client site). If you are in motion, you can make your 'course over ground' match the desired bearing and run straight up to you desired point. If you are not in motion, you have to have a compass to show you your desired heading. >If your GPS can tell you directions why not use it instead of the >compass to tell you what direction 143* is ? Still a question?
