A compass is more precise than the sun.

A GPS gives location along with lots of other detail and is normally included with a map giving you your exact position, and the direction for you to go to get somewhere.

This one doesn't really provide any benefit over the GPS, does it? Outside of the "poetic" stuff about "knowing your place in the world~" it's a device that gives little value for high cost.
