A compass mounted IN the panel or a compass mounted on TOP of the panel. Magnetic interference will be an issue either way, but I'd really like to mount the compass IN the panel. Are there any "gotchas" I should consider here? Everything in the panel is electric. Is one spot - for example near radios and the VM-1000 better than near switches and circuit breakers? Is there a method available to shield the compass? Anyone have the S.I.R.S. panel mounted compass?
