Default what's with the compass on the bow?

Maybe it's just me, but anyone else think that big ol' compass mounted in the bow looks dumb? Actually, mine is missing and I was considering putting a motorized spotlight in its place. Will probably just buy a new compass to put in, but if anyone else has seen or done something else I am listening

ok ok... guess I will try to find a good used compass... Not gonna drop $600 on something I will never use. Have a slip on the river. If I ever get confused as to which way upstream is, I can always use my GPS! lol
