Does anyone know if there is a set relationship between the accuracy

the compass direction? ( of the GPS)

ie. Trying to determine how far off the compass rose would be off
if WAAS sat's were being received and there was high accuracy.

Kind of new at this. Any thoughts appreciated.

The "compass" in a GPS is surely historical, it tells you where you've been,
not where you are going? A very rough comparison with the magnetic compass
might indicate if the latter had major errors, but compass swinging using
GPS, someone must be kidding! Much better to use transits, or a hand bearing
compass.
