Why these days with GPS accuracy so refined that a mount developer cannot automate polar alignment based on GPS coordinates. A GPS will tell you the lat and long, and ergo by the lat and long what the magnetic deviation is to correct for true South/celestial south (but a GPS should be reading true south anyway)

I am sure they will do it eventually, but I cannot see the hold up unless - as I suspect - I know absolutely nothing about this subject (considering for me PAE was PA... d'oh!)
