I was wondering if any of you have a compass on your bike or know of one that would work. I sometimes like to travel in a general direction and I will use the sun to get my bearings but on a cloudy day or night, that doesn't work. From what I've read, a normal magnetic compass won't work next to all of the metal on motorcycles and the electrical interference. The compasses I've seen made for motorcycles are a little pricey. Would a marine compass work? Or maybe a digital compass.

Thanks
