Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the feedback. Dan - the Brunton compass was recommended to me and I poked around the Web for the best price I could find. Based on what you guys said, I'm going to get one. I've heard that the talking compasses were not as reliable.
Matt - a compass is not as useful as a GPS device like the one you have, but hey, I'm on a budget here. Sometimes it helps a lot to know just the cardinal directions. Jennifer and Tony explained the advantages better than I could. Thanks again! Gary "I once was lost, but now I'm just blind." - Kid Rock
