My (Garmin etrex hcx) GPS has a compass, but it's not too precise, needs calibration, and only produces correct data if the device is held level (!) and there are no magnetic fields around. One would wish for something better, but I'm not sure they exist. On the other hand, the compass is the thing needed least for a panorama - the inclinometer would be much more useful and it should work no matter what.
