That is actually my favorite use for the GPS.  Its much better
at taking bearings off of a marked chart than I am.  On the water,
I don't think I'd be any good at using a silva style compass to
get accurate bearings, probably wouldn't do any better than I can
just by eyeballing it.  If you plan to depend on being able to take
bearings on the water with one, I'd be sure to give it a try in
an uncritical environment.
