Has anyone ever found a compass for a motorcycle that works?

The one in my Garmin seems to work well.

You can probably get a yachting compass to work properly. You will have to swing* the bike and place magnets to get it to read properly. Of course, funding a decent yacht's compass could break the bank. My Garmin XT (and Nuvi's for that matter) all show the compass direction when not navigating in trip mode. you can also use an iphone in compass mode to show you a 360º compass card.

Best results were others asking the same question on other bike forums, and of course the AI generated "best of..." the internet is dying...
There's the Bee Line Moto, but it's sort of cheating as it's a really basic GPS and not a compass.

You can get them on Amazon for around $300 Cdn.
You could also use the compass on a smartphone, but again that's semi-cheating too.

Seriously, do you have a GPS on the bike?
If I care which way is north my GPS displays it all the time.
Or use my phone, it's dead right as is the GPS.
