DD's suggestion has merit. The bicycle bell could double as a bear alarm.

Also handy for announcing your arrival/departure at portages!  ALL ABOARD!!! ;D

I WOULD have suggested a smaller one, but they quit using a small compass as one of the prizes in Cracker Jack boxes!   ::)

On a more serious note ... Doesn't your GPS have a compass function/screen? (Mine does.)   :)
