Which brings me to the question I've been meaning to ask for ages. Is there any problem carrying the compass next to anything that affects it at all, when not actually in use? Like a phone (without the magnet on the case), cameras, GPSs etc. I've always thought - perhaps wrongly - that it could affect the polarity if it's there long enough. With a camera in one pocket, a phone or GPS in the other, magnetic bits and pieces in my bumbag, it's almost impossible to keep it clear, even when it's on a cord around my neck. Is this an imaginary problem?
