Re: Which Compass to Use?
I second the HiTechnic compass. I found it to have a normal accuracy of +/-2-3 degrees, and a worst case accuracy of +/- 5 degrees. Your results may very, but I found the only issue to be the lag getting info from the sensor.

If you need quick response times you should look at using the included gyro. It is almost as simple to configure and use as the compass.
