re: Need recommendation for a portable car compass

My iPhone is my GPS and while driving I can’t quickly switch to the compass on my phone especially at night.

Go to Settings, then to Maps look down where it says Directions and then lists Driving, Walking, etc. Click on the right arrow and turn on Compass with the "slide switch" in the Show In Navigation section it will turn green. This way when using Maps/Navigation it will show a compass in the upper left hand corner of the map section of the screen.

Alternatively, if you have Siri turned on you can just tell Siri to "open compass" then switch back with a swipe up on the screen that doesn't require you to hit a specific app.
