Re: GPS Program Reccommendation (non-mapping)
It will not perform a traditional compass function when standing still like a magnetic compass, but as long as you are moving, the GPS knows which way you are moving and plots that on a compas rose (direction of travel, as you mentioned). That is basic functionality for most GPS units, and exactly what I am looking for.

I'm testing the GPS today program now. Looks nice, but kind of overkill for what I am looking for.
