    OBTW, when buying a compass make sure the one you pick in the store points pretty much in the same direction as the others....Ive seen the needles painted on the wrong end, more than once.

    Also, if the store uses theft prevention tags, remove the compass from the packaging (or remove the tag) before they demagnetize it....I've known compasses to get scragged by the demagnetizer.
