GPS Can't Post

I just found something that could be of use.

As i understand it, you set a position and then it will point an arrow to the position and show the distance.
Anyone use it or anything similar?

Are they serious about the calibrationvideo? Unsure
Seems odd

Have a look at this: FlySight GPS designed by a jumper for jumpers.

I have modified a copy of the software to give direction and distance information.
More info here: FlyBlind Software

I have one.

I have seen flyblind but not been able to try it, its winter now.
But i dont think i would want anything blocking my hearing and definitely not something beeping in my ear when doing CRW.
I think it would be way to much of an distraction, the GPS i linked to above could be mounted as a chestmount altimeter and i can look at it "when i can/have time to".
