A simple hand held compass in the kayak seat pack could save someone's life.
I must be old school I had a hand held Magellan 2000 GPS and a good compass when I used to tuna fish in my boat. I'm used to following a compass heading and deviate with the GPS. My compass never let me down but Electric connection have.
