    @Roo,

    What GPS are you using? I have found the LEA-6 and the new MediaTek V2.0 to be higly accurate! However a compass, like you have, is a must to provide straight line paths from waypoint to waypoint. I found that the new HMC5883L calibrates better than the older HMC5843-TR.

    Regards,
