Title: Compass
Post by: jshill on April 26, 2020, 11:58:54 AM
Does anyone know of a compass that can be used on a bicycle? I expect with all the steel it might be a problem, but it sure would be nice, I have numerous handheld compasses, but it would not be convenient to use one while pedaling. Thanks!

How about a compass app on your phone with the help of a cell phone mount?

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Here's an interesting compass for a bike.  On top of the stem.  Very cool.  Unfortunately the stem on my RAD Mini 4 would hide it.

I subsequently found this Suunto on Amazon. It has its own wrist band, which would keep it OFF the metal of the bike. Not sure how much that distance would matter, though.
