In Response To: Cheap Compass *Pic* (John Monfoe)

I did something similar.

a cheap keyholder type compass fell into my hands.
I separated it from the key holder & glued it on the deck
far enough from the main compass, so it will not be affected by any metals
stored in the compartments.

this is something mentioned in the book: "fundamentals of kayak navigation"
