I was looking at the gpsdrive 2.10pre4 display and notioed 
the word "Heading" being used.  I think this word will be 
needed when compass output will also be available and is 
probably being used instead of "track", as in made good
a.k.a. "course" stateside. Heading can only come from a 
compass or celestial nav (possibly including satellites but 
in a different context). I'm on thin ice being a gps noob 
but I have done some nav here and there including bubble 
sextants & pencil shadows on a Jeppeson.

Just an idea.
