I was assuming he had the LNT module fitted.

He does, but to use it requires you to start an autoalign.
He wanted a quick way to use his own stars, so that precludes use of the LNT. And manual setting of the OTA is sooo easy, its not worth autoaligning anyway.

A better GPS module would detect north

No "purely" OEM GPS unit ( i have heard of ) will tell you which way its pointing, it only gives time, position, and elevation.
If you are moving, then the GPS can tell you what way you went
but if stationary, it cant tell direction.
With Meades, the units appear to be made up of cheap off the shelf individual components which can be matched to their I2C bus.
