Pondering…
Has anyone with a “modern” computer with an onboard compass made any comparison between it and a ‘traditional’ dive compass?
Suunto describes theirs as “accurate to +/- 15 degrees” which seems a fairly large margin, especially if surveying with one?
It does seem semi useful that they give the ability to lock a bearing in whilst swimming and adjust the declination etc but I wonder if I’m still going to have to wear a standard compass for survey work.
Not that I have miles of passage to survey I hasten to add!
