Default Compass on your bike?

Has anyone mounted a compass on their bike? I had one in the last car I had, and ended up using it all the time.
If you have one, where did you get it and how is it mounted?

It is built into my Garmin GPS which is mounted by a RAM mount. I know it is not what you were asking for but it is a feature I found yesterday. It also had an altimeter pretty cool.

Yes, I have one of the little round ball ones with a suction cup mounted low on the windshield of my RKC. A couple of bucks at auto parts store. Handy, plus old school simple.

Then all you need is a bobble-head hula doll, a plastic Jesus and some fuzzy dice. Brings back memories of my childhood. Now if I can just find a way to mount one of those canvas water bags to the front of my bike. Sorry, it's a slow day.

If I needed a compass to ride, I wouldn't ride.
