Where are your GPS antenas located? 30cm away from GPS antennas AND the
compass is not realistic in most gliders...


How can the compass interfere with the GPS signal?

I'm not sure but here is a quote from the manual:


"The PowerFLARM® and any associated aerials should be located as far
away as possible -- at least 30 cm (1 ft) -- away from any other GPS
aerial and the magnetic compass."


Maybe it's the aerials that interfere with the compass.
