I am interested in details of the compass described by Byron Franklin with accuracy 1/10 degree. Are they magnetic? What is the size? Etc. I own no GPS. But I tried several GPS as compases, and they are much worse then an ordinary pocket magnetic compass. The best think I ever tried for taking a bearing was a 8x10 Steiner binocular with a built in compass but I do not remember its scale... Alex.
