Default Vertical Card Compasses vs GPS Compass Display


I have to agree. Perhaps it's just my ignorance, but when is the
direction that the nose is pointing useful information? My compass
works fine, and is a great source of amusement, but gives me little
useful information, other than helping guesstimate winds by comparing
it to my track.


When I fly airplanes, a compass is an incredibly useful tool. When I fly
gliders, it takes up panel space.
