Sorry folks I meant to say "we can live with the country bearings for the 
time being" that is until Jack can do a proper fix. I agree entirely that 
it needs to be fixed properly but at the moment if one accidentally leaves 
the Summary window on IOTA we get spurious headings or none at all and that 
really isn't acceptable. I was hoping Jack could provide a quick fix for that.
