A nice quick and easy....popping out of the subway, turned around at Disneyland, local woods, sort of compass is a small TruNord.

This one a pin-on version that makes for handy quick reference.



These can be ordered with your local declination already set. This makes them not great travel compasses, but they are definately quality items that have their use. They are not a bad choice for EDC, but not one I use as a primary compass.
