Jack Sparrows Compass

Hey fellow Arduinoids!
I'm currently brainstorming a project, and I thought it would be cool to build Jack Sparrows compass in real life. I originally thought of using 2 separate trackers, so you could track a specific item you put a tracker on, but I figured instead I will use a single tracker and will have to adjust the direction to point based off of the location of the compass. The main issue I am having is figuring out what sort of tracker I should use. I think GPS would be the best for the project, but I am not quite sure what specific one I should use for an Arduino. I am also trying to keep it as a budget project, so please keep that in mind.
I have already worked out the math I would have to do if I had a GPS that gave me coordinates, but I guess its worth asking if there is any way I can simply take the direction to my destination straight from the GPS?
Thanks!

Can you describe Jack Sparrow's compass for us? I am not familiar with it.

The compass, from the movie, doesn't point north, but rather points to what you most want in the world.

A module using the u-blox neo-6m is commonly used and is low cost.

It will give you your co-ordinates but cannot tell you the direction to some other location. A microprocessor board would be needed to do that.

An interesting concept for a feature, however it's not part of the NMEA standard. Some handheld devices store waypoints, and might offer a feature to orient towards one. But it won't report it on the serial port.

Alright... I'll take a look at that. Thank you!

You may need a compass as well - GPS only knows its heading if it is moving and if Jack's compass must be set to point to some other location, it will need to know its orientation too.

Yea... I completely forgot to mention, but I already took that into account.
