thats quite a general statement and possibly duff info"


if you just need pointed in the right direction you dont need a compass, if you actually want to know where you are, and how to get to where you want to be, you NEED an OS map, and you NEED a compass with basplate.

also knowing how to use them has its advantages too!

might be duff for you but it always worked for me and that includes walking on Dartmoor, just don't put your compass on the barrel of your rifle.
