So, you can simply set-up, point it at the North star and your good to go? That's nice

You don't even have to do that. Any stars will work for alignment.

That's correct. You don't have to know what you are pointing it at. If you do know what you are pointing at, you only need one object.[ie North Star] Otherwise, you need to point it at three bright objects and then it knows everything else.
