In researching survival kit parts, I ran across this company. I have no experience with their products, so the usual caveat emptor:

Dale these tend to be the ones you see at the checkout counter walls like in West Marine, Ramsey Outdoors, and other big box stores. They don't settle that quick IME and are small, so for those eyesight challenged folks they're pretty much a no go IMO.

I have one of these –

Sun MiniComp II

Picked it up in an outdoors shop in the UK for about £8. It has lasted about 5 years so far, and is quite well made. I use it for everything – cycling, walking, visiting new towns, etc. I keep it on a lanyard around my neck, along with maybe a micro torch and a whistle.

In my survival tin I also have a tiny plastic 'button compass' as a backup.
