They can fail, can they not?

I'd rely on a compass as long as you have the skills to use it before I'd rely solely on any battery powered gizmo.

Reliable as they maybe, a old school compass and working knowledge of it's workings would be a smart choice, GPS or not.

Murphy's Law says that sooner or later your electronic gizmo will crash and burn. Outside of losing your compass, ( I have a back-up), a compass as primary or back-up is the smart way too go ;)
