Hello,
I searched a cheap compass for the navigation software ( OpenCPN ) Problem was to implement it as a service. Your Software does it with the GPS messages. So I decided do expand the software by a compass message ( $HDM......). What do you think about this addon ? They tried solutions with RaspberryPi /Arduinos and magnet sensors. The navigation software already supports the UDP-protocol. Your GPS makes sense as an additional backup device. I could make own version, but I am new to this kind of programming. So I would prefer when you could integrate this.
I testet it and it works.
Thanks

Thanks @decodeais , I'll give it a try over the weekend. How have you been testing it? Does the compass data show up on gpsmon?

I tried to check it with gpsmon. It seems to be blocked in gpsd. For ObenCPN it doesn't matter, because we can transmit by UDP directly without gpsd though its supported by the navigation software.
