Default Car compass

Last week on the way to downtown I found my main east/west road was closed.
Trying to avoid a two mile drive to and from the next e/w main road I
ducked into the residential area nearby. This is a dry agricultural area so
there are lots of irrigation ditches and I kept getting blocked by them.
Quickly became lost. Finally ended up on the next main road I was trying to
avoid driving to but with many side trips on the way. sigh I had wished I
had a compass. Can you still put one in the car? There used to be many more
places to fasten one around the windshield than nowdays on a modern car.


Others have mentioned a GPS, a very good idea. In many cars you can
have a compass in the mirror. As a bonus, they are the elecrochromatic
mirrors that dime when an a-hole in back of you has his high beams on.
