Added function on GMT Master II - Compass
I learned something today that I figured I’d share with TRF. This could totally be widely known but I’m new to GMTs and found it to be a useful tool. If you have the hour hand and GMT hand set to local watch on your GMT master and point the hour marker towards the sun, the GMT hand will point you towards North! Never knew you could use it as a compass, pretty cool.
