  I would like to replace my ailing DG with an in-dash flux gate compass.
My compass is so tiny and hard to read I never look at it other than to
set the DG.  I don't see any point of having a DG if it could be replaced
by a large readable in-dash compass.  The only flux gate compasses I
can find are those made for boating.  Here is one possibility:

  It even has a handy steer to course function.  This unit is 110 mm sq
so is a little large but sure looks easy to read!
