[TowerTalk] Finding True North

[Martin Sole]

Since others started this I don't mind adding.

The Google Earth idea sounds interesting and I would like to hear just 
how you do this.

As an aside I suspect it might get easier when Google releases the 
specification for the plastic owl interface then if I can just get the 
owl to talk to my gps I'll be all set.
