The one feature this does not have that makes a world of difference is the declination adjustment.

Get a compass that will allow you to adjust for magnetic variances and it's one less thing you need to think about while using a map.

If you don't intend to navigate with map and compass, just find north, that's not so much a big deal. But knowing how to navigate is always a good idea...
