There were some helpful answers to my question and some ignorant comments made.
Apparently it offends some people that I would like to have a compass. I really don't know why they would even click on this thread if they weren't interested in the topic.

Thanks to all the people who had something constructive to say. A lot of the roads here are in the mountains, where woods line both sides of the road. The sun can't be seen, and sometimes I'd like to know which direction I'm headed. I guess I could go up in the woods and look for moss on the north side of trees, but it's more fun to keep riding.
Thanks again!
