 Need an Aftermarket compass that will work with my 2021 RT?
When I bought the RT this past summer I missed a feature that I had had on my Honda Goldwing, an onboard compass. Especially when just meandering on back roads and losing direction, knowing which way is which would be useful. I tried an inexpensive handlebar mounted compass which did not work at all, I assume due to the metal of the Spyder nearby. Does anyone know of a compass that will work with the Spyder, ideally one easy to mount.

Interesting compass device. A bit more pricey than what I was hoping for, but thanks for the recommendation.

Mine was a 2016 ABS model. On the screen a compass would show, with an arrow pointing north so by inference you would figure out what direction you were pointing in.

At this point I think I will just use the compass feature on the display of my Iphone12 in the phone holder with the screen on indefinitely.

I'm not a directionally challenged person and I've only been lost once in my life, and that was in a foreign country during a hurricane at night. My cell phone compass feature has always been correct. I've never known it to lie to me. Good choice, stick with it.

My Garmin XT takes care of not having a compass. It shows direction traveling.
