which pocket pc GPS are you using?
usually you can select orientation like "point to North"or "direction of travel""
just move forward a little and the gps will show you your bearing.

The GPS software calculates the bearing using your car's previous and present position. The problem with GPS is the inherent error of ?3m to ?100m depending if SA (Selective Avaliability) is turned off or on. So even when your car is not moving, the GPS will provide 2 different position samples. Thus, your GPS software will think that you have moved and calculate the wrong bearings.
I also use the move forward a little trick but not always successful.

Hi Toto,
I heard you are still a young lad. Why retired so early from a land of fun...hehe..
I must persuade you to come out of retirement. Please feel free to SMS (96805406) me when r going. If an old man come knocking at Ed's door and wants to buy Wing Flaps, that's me.

I'm using the MIO Pocket PC with built-in GPS receiver. I use Mapking for Singapore and Agis for Malaysia. The Agis software really sucks, not recommended at all. Heard Mapking has maps for Malaysia now. Have anyone here tried? Any comments?

Mio 169 is not bad with Mapking.
maybe you should give a try for garmin que, it is free anyway.

in terms fo accuracies, Garmin is the best. Plus using the Sirf III chip, real good.

nRoute is also free but I need a validated copy of MapSource to be installed on my PC before it installs. Sigh.
