: I have made mind up on getting a GPS but do I need a compass also. I paddle at the most about 1 to 3 miles out. Do I need a back up or just more batteries for the water proof GPS?Over, Out, Mark
Mark,
You should always carry a compass as a backup even if you are within 100 yards from shore fog can roll in very quick and a good compass is farily cheap Richmond makes one that flushmounts in your yak. Check out the equipment section of this website and look at the section marked compasses.
