color=#0000ff size=2>I was working on an idea for paintball player tracking
that'd have magnetic compass units on each gun, plus a vibration sensor, so you
could record the time, position, and direction of each shot. With a Zigbee
setup you could show players moving and shooting on a screen in real time.
Not a big deal for most commercial fields where everyone's in plain sight, but
most people around here play 'woods ball', where the playing area might be 10
acres of woods and hills. Doesn't work too well for
spectators.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know if the garmin units with
compasses output a seperate compass heading? Note that the compass
heading may be different than the direction of travel (for example if the
unit is held horizontal and moved backwards or left/right.) My
intent is to have a serial compass that shows which way the gps unit is
oriented.</FONT></DIV>
