Compass swings

What is the requirements for carrying out a compass swing these days? I remember carrying them out on a compass base and doing a 12 point calibration against a Watts Datum but with the advent of GPS, is this still the case. Can you compare the two and do you still have to move the aircraft around the points?

Thanks,
