What is a positive effect of using a gps instead of a compass?
The positive effect is that you can succeed in getting to where you're going. A GPS can tell you exactly where you are, and when you couple that information with a map, you can move straight to where you want to be. All a compass can tell you is which way you're facing, which really isn't very useful.

Effects of this magnetic field on a compass or closely spaced objects?
on a compass it caused the compass to point to the magnet instead of magnetic north, I think that South will point to the magnet (if I remember correctly) You can get around this by using our patent which allows a magnetic radio speaker in a radio direction finder to sit directly next to a compass - by aligning the radio speaker to sit directly south of the compass it does not effect the accuracy.
