In my tip up 6A I had it in the panel next the six pack. Did not work at all. So I moved it to the glareschield. Still debating if I should replace it with a regular whisky compass as it still not what it should be. Oh yes, GPS have made compass obsolete but then again it is required and you may find out the GPS does not work.

The compass isn't obsolete if ATC asks you to fly a particular
heading. They often give specific headings to various aircraft to
ensure separation between them. This works as long as all the
aircraft are actually flying heading. But, if there is a strong
wind, there may be a large difference between heading and track. If
one aircraft is flying heading, and another one is flying track, then
separation may be compromised.
I do agree that if you are navigating somewhere, track info is
extremely useful, and heading info is much less useful.
