What is the importance of a compass when you go hiking?
A compass should be considered essential hiking gear and no pack is complete without one. While hiking, even on well marked trails, one can wander off and become lost. These days a GPS or even many smart phones with GPS can be used to locate yourself and find your way home. Unfortunately though, electronics can fail or break and batteries can die. A good compass will always work. Of course you should also have a map of the area you are hiking in, so the compass can be used to triangulate your position. Yet even without a map a compass will still have many valuable uses; most important among them is keeping you walking in a straight line as all humans have a tendency to walk in circle without knowing it.
