hi,
i recently tested two compasses and they sure turned weird if held close together. since a compass needle is a (very) weak magnet any strong ones will surely do the same. but fortunately its easy to test for the distance at which the problem occurs. maybe a compass close in front of the coaming will be all right?
greetings,
risto
