A compass only works if you know how to use it.

Can't agree there.  A compass has saved more than one lost hiker from
traveling in circles, with or without a map.  And it's saved me from
spending hours driving around and in the wrong direction when I first
started taking "The Swamp" shortcuts -- both with no other application than
"North is that-a-way".

I've taught detailed Map Orienteering courses so I do agree that a compass
can be used for much more sophisticated applications.  Getting un-lost isn't
usually sophisticated.  ;-)
