Dash compass

[Baby Jeep Overland]

Anyone have a compass mounted to their dash or windshield?
Is it effective/ acurate?
What do you have?

The FJ came with an in dash cluster that has a compass. I use it a lot more than I thought I would. It's not accurate enough to actually nav with, but it is useful for maintaining a general heading. Out here, if the sun is hidden, the praries all kinda look the same. It's nice to have a reference for keeping a heading at least.

I had a boat compass in my last truck. Way more accurate than a factory compass. I needed it for search and rescue.

The FJ Cruiser came with a compass, temp gauge and an inclinometer.
The compass is just like what @CDN Offroader mentioned... it's accurate enough to point you in a general direction.
My temp gauge seems to be a degree or two off on some days.
The inclinometer works great when I think to double check how much I'm tilting. I've gotten it close to 30 degrees sideways and nose down once or twice, and my seat covers are still intact!

Been looking to retro fit one of these to my Cruiser. Like the idea of the compass and temp gauge. Usually use the compass on the SatNav for general heading. Would be a good addition for when I leave the SatNav behind... joys of not having a built in one. Not sure about the inclinometer... normally 'bottled it' way before it tells me I'm likely to fall over.

I really like these, would like to know if I can mod one for my 4runner. It would be nice to know what direction I'm heading.

A Landcruiser (120 series) have a compass stock mounted in the dash. No idea if I will ever need it though, hard to get that lost in Europe ;)
