As a one-time land surveyor, I'm in awe of these devices. I remember the tedium of making sun shots (azimuth by altitude) observations in Oman and calculating them by hand using tables. We eventually moved to using a programmable hand calculator that seemed like magic! These must have had the same effect on laymen.
L-O-V-E this.
Great!!
All these devices are absolutely gorgeous. So much more attractive than GPS on your phone.
They are!

Some of them do involve a lot of tables but still, they're incredible!
