Have all gps settings, now how would u go about trying to aim a yagi in a direction. Searched a while with no luck, how can you Convert GPS Coordinates to Compass Headings maybe dumb but boy cannot find any thing out there.
Thanks People

gps coordinates will tell you where the point is. you need two gps points to calculate a bearing.
if you are just using the gps as a compass it will give you a heading, relative to true north or magnetic north depending on the settings of your reciever
to get a bearing to a site you want to aim aim your yagi at. First take a gps observation at the site that you want to listen to. Second go back to where your antenna is and 'go to' the site with your gps.
Your gps reciever will tell you how far and at what bearing it is from you, relative to north, turning clockwise from north., 0 is north, 90 is east 180 is south and 270 is east.
to find north with a gps compass you need to be moving, with out movement the reciever has no way to figure out which way it is facing
Depending on how your gps is set up your compass could be either magnetic north or true north, and depending where you are it can be two very differrent bearings.
