Hmmm, just realised I have my old handheld Garmin GPS from my serious boating days. It has full compass functionality including preset on the declination and a range of output methods. Gets about 8 hours on a set of AA's. Add a digital level and the bases are all covered maybe. have to dig it out and see how it works. Glad I didn't sell it off now ..
