As a fair percentage of the discussion amongst the learned gentlemen on this
group involves GPS-based timing systems, I'd like to ask a non-time related, but
GPS-related question.
As part of microwave radio experimentation, often on windy hilltops, I have a
need to find direction very accurately. I have seen advertised GPS-based
Azimuth Pointing Systems such as this:
http://www.ascscientific.com/APS.html
However they are a little (lot) out of my budget range.
The system seems to work by taking the raw satellite phase information from two
separate GPS systems and crunching the data to come up with an azimuth figure.
Has anyone heard of a (Open Source?) program that could be used to do these
calculations?

David,
Please see U.S. Patent # 5,777,578 "GPS Compass". I can send you a
copy if you cannot find it.
