Looking for an "electronic compass" ?

[fritzfield]

I want a compass for cross county hiking and snow shoeing. Newegg has a Bushnell Onix350 for $119.00, but it seems to get poor reviews. Can anyone recommend a unit that is relatively inexpensive?

The generic heading for Google is "digital compass." This Timex wrist model looks like it would be good for what you do. There are many handheld types available.

How about a hand held GPS unit?
