It's not just the accuracy of the compass. It's the accuracy of the person reading it.

Anyway, I went out and tested it. I marked my start on the GPS as a waypoint. Then went out and walked to different locations and took a bearing back to the start. I was consistantly 1 degree left of the GPS.

Thank again for challenging me on the statement.
