True, but the Garmin 62s handheld that I use for geocaching and hiking ($200-$400) has a 3-axis, tilt-compensated electronic compass that shows your heading even when you're standing still and holding the unit upright or at an angle. Accuracy is +/-2° except near the poles where it is +/-5° . My Casio watch on the other hand is +/-11°, if you hold it level. -Arthur _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
