Compass application

I've been looking for a Compass application (similar to the one that comes on the iPhone) for our PPC device; I found a couple, and they do not function once installed.

Anyone know of a decent compass application for windows mobile?

There is no hardware compass integrated into our phones, so this will not really work (at least accurately). My suggestion, use a GPS app and once you move in any direction you will get a sense of your coordinates in degrees.

As stated above our devices do not have the hardware (Magnetometer) for a compass. All directional information we get is based on GPS location. Direction of travel requires movement to get heading information.
