For GPS to determine azimuth the observer must be moving. That works
fine in a vehicle, but not when you're walking.  Ask me how I know. :)

Or you must have two GPS antennas in one unit, separated by some distance, usually 18" or more. We use such units to align cell antennas. They are supposedly accurate to one degree or better.

I can't imagine how a stationary single antenna GPS can measure azimuth.
