[amsat-bb] Re: Compass Function in GPS

[Lee McLamb]

Or worse continues to display the last motion of more than a few meters.  
Learned that standing in the rain late one nite to activate a rare grid 
square.  My mistake was backing into a parking space then looking at the GPS.  
Fortunately I realized the error before the pass was over and was able to 
make some contacts.
