It certainly is not useless. It apparently takes a modicum of intelligence to get this. To understand what the compass adds to navigating requires a thinking tool called "comparing" and the insight to know what to compare it to. Those lacking in such skills, lacking the ability to think about the value of something call them "useless". Whst they fail to grasp is that it is their failing to recognize the usefulness.
