Well, there you go!
I borrowed a Magellan 310 gps from a local landholder to set up my APRS 
system. Never thought to check *that* out. If you didn't change it, the 
default for the Magellan series at least is *magnetic*.

Figures now why the fences didn't finish up at the surveyed corners.

A *nasty* trap for young players
