So, why hasn't anyone mentioned the compass that shows up next to the speedometer? Is this a common feature on newer vehicles? My last truck was a 2005 Ranger.

My 2016 & 2018 Escape had it.

Pretty much every modern vehicle is choke full of sensors. May as well have a compass.

2012 Focus had a compass on the instrument cluster LCD, and that didn't even get the oil life monitor, didn't say provide tire pressure data beyond a dummy light saying 1+ was low, etc, which are simple software things other vehicles had years before.

I noticed that also.

I too never had a compass built into the vehicle.

My last vehicle was a 2015 Honda Fit Ex and it had no compass.

Does anyone know if the Jeep Compass has a compass?

I've never owned a car built after 2011, so definitely no compasses (yet) for me either. 🤣

My early Gen 2 Tacoma showed outside temp on the rearview mirror. My later Gen 2 Tacoma did away with that and shows compass reading in the rearview
