For a datapoint, the Nexus (was Silva) 70P is a really decent compass, too.
The factory-built recess in the Valley Canoe Products "Pintail" --- as well as
in other VCP boats --- is designed for the 70P, and it sits down below the
deck level.  There is some sort of light available for it, as well.  It's been
sitting in the deck of my boat for five years and, although the numbering has
faded a little and the glass has darkened a tiny bit --- couldn't be <me>! ---
it's still in good shape, no leaks, and totally satisfactory.  Catalog list is
around $90 --- paid about $45 five years back.

For on-chart navigation, I strongly support the Small Craft Nav-Aid, too.
