To change the subject a little bit - this has been probably discussed, but I
don't remember. How useful is S-option (compass) for a sea kayaker?  In my
Legend there is "a sort of" compass function, - showing very rough direction
to the waypoint, and only when moving.  Practically useless. The compass in
60/76CS  - is it something similar, based on the satellite triangulation
readings, only more accurate? It can't be better than a separate magnet
compass, I think. But may be it's more convenient or useful in some
particular circumstances?
