With GPS machines available these days, a lot of people don't find it necessary to bring a compass anymore with them when camping. But not me. Yes, I use a GPS, but I still bring my compass with me, partly 'coz it's got some sentimental value (it's my grandfather's compass that he used back in WWII). But more so that at least I got a backup in case the batteries run out.
How about you guys? Do you use a compass still or not anymore? What other directional tools do you use?
