[pct-l] Compass ???

[Phil Baily]

I use a lightweight clear plastic one that is a little bigger than a 
credit card. It lets me do everything you mentioned. It was 
inexpensive and light and is durable. I bought it many years ago, but 
assume something similar is still available at a place like REI.
