This version shows azimuth from your last known position to point (0;0). It's updates itself with timer. As the changes are most likely negligible, you will hardly be able to check it by eyes. If you start from X Terminal (/opt/usr/bin/qdialgps), you can see its output. It says: No such signal QGeoPositionInfoSourceMaemo... So it's hardly possible to update upon position change; timer is most likely the way to go, though it's most likely resource eater. There is also now distance in meters.
