Is there something wrong or am I just being a dummy.

Line up on 27, wet compass shows 27 set HI to 27 and set off in very light variable wind. Fly about an hour north then turn around to head home, set the Garmin 496 for "go direct" back to my home field and follow the pointer that extends from the wee plane on the screen. The Garmin shows my Course, Bearing and Track all 180 BUT the wet compass and HI show I am flying 210 !

What am I missing here?
