Compass Question

What is the functional difference between a standard boat compass and a 'kayak' compass. For example Ritchie has a kayak compass and many others. Aside from the mounting setup and size does a kayak compass have a moveable marker for setting a course? Or if I can mount it can I use any other similar compass ( - I like other mounts and colours better.)

What functional characteristics does one look for in a good kayak compass?
