A few weeks ago I was walking through the flat over grown river swamps of south Georgia. The area was significantly overgrown with privit, myrtle, etc., so I wasnt walking in a straight line, but rather trying to find the least overgrown areas to walk through. I didn't get lost, but did get fairly bewildered. When I finally came out onto a highway, I wasn't where I thought I should have been. So I am thinking a compass may be a good idea to take with me next time I do this.
I am not sure the compass on my iphone works too good. Does the phone have to be connected to the network for it to work?
I think I want a decent mechanical compass. When I was in Boy Scouts, we used Silva compasses for mountaineering. What is a good brand of mechanical compass these days?
