I've tried it for a short time and would advice against it. Calibrating the thing is a pain in the ass and when you think it's done, everything gets messed up as soon as you turn on the wipers.
Mine was a cheap compass, maybe you can get better results if you spend real money on it, or buy a gyroscopic compass.

Can imagine the compass spinning around madly when the wipers are switched on... ;)
