Why no compass
I love my C5 but really miss not having a compass. Every other car I have had since 1998 has had one. Anyone know why GM chose not to put at leat an 8 direction digital in the car? Also, anyone using an add on that fits well with the C5?
Just wondering.............

Here's one, but it replaces the entire mirror instead of just adding the compass feature: http://accessory-center.com/series.plx/30/1533/1865

I picked up a compass at Pep Boys for about $2.00…..It sticks on with a suction cup….mounted it on the upper left corner of the windshield. Great when traveling away from home on a strange road. I believe the C6 has a compass.
