A digital compass would be great, but analog is good too. I've tried several already (not in my new A4 yet), but none have seemed to work correctly because of the car's magnetic field.

Default Here's your answer

I also found the A4's internal fields too strong for most compasses. Supposedly, the ones sold by Precision Navigation are very sophisticated and will correct accurately. I haven't bought one yet, but one poster said his worked great.

If you buy one, let us know how it works out.<ul><li><a href="http://www.precisionnavigation.com/">Precision Navigation</a></li></ul>
