yes, i think what you want to do is get a "bearing".
to do this travel to Point A and mark it by pressing
the 'mark' button. When it asks
for a 'label' call it "TowerA" or something like that.
now you have made what is called a 'waypoint' which just
a neat way of saying you have stored a LAT/LONG location in memory.
then travel to Point B and mark that to. give it a name too.
now while your standing there at Point B, hit
the [GOTO] button and select "TowerA" from the list of
waypioints.
The screen wiil now show you the bearing (compass direction) and
the Distance back to TowerA.
To get it right with the compass you have to do a tiny bit of math.
Bearing on the GPS - ( Magnetic Declination ) = Compass Heading
You will need to look up the "Magnetic Declination" for your country/state.
you could also try this calculator :

The new heading you calculate can be used directly on your compass.
