- Hello, mountain rescue.
- Hello, I seem to be lost on the mountain, can you help.
- Of course sir, being lost on mountains is what we're here for. Now, do you have a map.
- Yes. Yes I do.
- Magnifique! And do you have a compass.
- Well, I've got one in my 'phone.
- ...
- Hello? Are you there? I said, yes, I have a compass in my 'phone.
- ...
- Hello? Is this thing on?
- (very quiet, but clearly annoyed voice) ... for f**ks sake ... (louder now, and clearly animated) [extended rant about "townie c**ts" that think that a telephone is a good substitute for a good sighting compass]

No. I do have a compass in my phone, but I don't really trust it. I can hold my phone still, looking at the compass, and the needle wanders a few degrees here and there. I've looked at the pole star and had an iPhone tell me I was facing north north east.

No.
