OK....I'm reasonably intelligent (he thought to himself), I understand most things (given time)
I'm a bit slower at my age than I was when younger (a long time ago).....
BUT...Can the highly educated, massively experienced of those among us please explain why we have to wave our birds ...and phones....about in the air for the compass to work?
Why can't it just scan and say to itself....OH magnetic north is over that way.
I know it does move about, but It's really never going to change that much in our lifetime to make a difference so why the crazy loop the loop (hopefully out of sight of laughing bystanders)
I await an over the top scientific explanation
I'll go get another beer now while I wait
Cheers
Pete
