Garmin GPSMAP76s has a compass. You can even configure the unit so the
compass
automatically takes over when you have been below "X" speed for "X"
seconds.

Then it's a Fluxgate Compass on a GPS Receiver... GPS cannot give you
compass directions without movement. Deal with it.

I don't have to deal with it, because I own a GPS that has an integrated
fluxgate compass. It also has integrated charts, and an integrated altimeter.
They all work together as one. If I ask you to hand me my GPS, you have to hand
me the compass, altimeter and charts with it. As the Buddists would say, they
are ONE.

And, it'll be the one you'll be crying about when you run aground,
because you lost it over the side.
