OK, given that F18 rules don't allow GPS based heading indicators, what do folks use for a compass? The options I have seen that are legal are:

-TacTic micro compass
-NovaSail w/GPS disabled
-card compass

All of them seem to have their deficiencies. The TacTic micro is expensive and doesn't last very long. The NovaSail is expensive,complicated and has too many buttons. A card compass needs to be level and be able to be seen from the wire.

So I'm wondering what folks use. I've been wanting a good reliable (and legal) compass since we got our boat but there is nothing out there that seems to fit.

Thoughts?
