Use GPS for bearing/radar instead of compass

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The G1-compass, as the one of other handheld-devices (I suppose) isnt very
precise and is affected by many influences (like magnetic cases, perhaps
zippers ...).

When receiving GPS-signals it should be no problem to calculate a bearing
from two last coordinates and show it on the radar. A compass without
compass, as in most handheldGPS-devices.

Would make Geobeagle a lot better.
Form discussions on the I know, that I am not the only one lacking
precision in his G1-compass.

From discussions on the internet I know, that I am not the only one lacking
precision in his G1-compass.
