RE: compass

Thank you Mr.Rick. This makes it a whole lot easier than what I have been trying to do. I'm gonna give it a try.

One of my problems is that there are no fixed objects like bouys or markers to calibrate on.* I mean objects with a known GPS cordinate. The harbor has one small green light and you can't even see that untill you are right up on it.****What I would like to do is go paint a big mark on a rock on shore. but the greenies wouldn't like that

If I can get this figured out perhaps I can hire myself out as a compass adjuster. I would be the only one in South Central Alaska.

Man I would love to just hire someone.

Swing the compass thats one in a row.
