Probably repeating myself here but a GPS system which uses 3 satellites will give precise cardinal orientation. Any lesser device is a waste of time.

My camera works that way and provides star tracking ( by turning the ccd) as well a very accurate compass based in GPS. Calibration each time you turn it on and waiting for the satellite lock takes a little while but it always delivers octans in scope.
