Pfft compass what’s that? Look out the canopy.

Not a good option in Kansas! You are spoiled by flying where there are mountains
to guide you. In Kansas, look at the GPS track when you want to know direction.
Or pull out your iPhone, and use the compass app.

If the sun is shining around noon or even somewhat later, it's mostly overhead.
It's really easy to pop out of a thermal and head off at 90 degrees to course.
