Astro 220 vs Garmin gps 12s readings

Why do I get two different readings when they are placed side by side. both are Garmin products? 29d north and 7d west in the reading. Which is correct? The 12s is about 10 years old the A220 one year old.

I had an old one given to me and I'm not sure how people could afford to use them. Brand new set of Duracell batteries would last about 2 to 3 hours tops and it would take 20 minutes of that to pick up GPS reception.

To calibrate an Astro 220 press "dog", then "menu" then select "calibrate compass" and follow the directions on screen.
