IMO, for the gps to compute a compass course to compensate for wind and

Exactly right.


Anybody know of a GPS with this capability?


I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but inputting wind speed
and current wouldn't help since both affect different boats in different
ways. A smaller, shorter boat, for example, is less affected by wind
than a taller, longer boat.

The purpose of a GPS is to do more than a compass. It will help you
correct for wind and current if you simply use it to get to your waypoint.
