Interesting. The web page is one reason why I asked, ie on my Fortec the angle pops up, which is very slightly different from what is on the web page, and is a bit more different from what I estimate (rough calculation) it should be, so I'm curious just how accurate the various USALS calculation are, that these receivers do.
However the other reason I asked, is that a couple times when I had accidenty left the "E" in for longitude or had some other setup messed up, it showed up by being a bogus angle there. So it's handy to have that readout of the angle.
