I think a compass is a helpful gimmick. If one's driving in one's city then compass directions are mostly known and the compass is not as useful. For a new city at daytime if its really necessary to know the compass direction, on a sunny day, one can look at the sun's directions in the sky and get an idea.

The Cadillacs I have owned in the past all had an electronic compass built in their rear view mirrors. It is a great feature that I miss. Slowly but surely MB is adding options offered by other companies. One example which is new this year ( and way overdue) are the automatic headlamps.

I sure hope my E500 doesn't sit still long enough for moss to grow on any side (north or south) of it. I would rather have a compass.
Even my old Durango had a compass as standard equipment.

Totally agree - I had an electronic compass in my Cadillac STS many years ago and it was very useful - even though I'm sure the cost in a car company adding one is very low...
