Broken compass

Broken compass is a miscellaneous item in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
It is a quest item that needs to be repaired to complete the quest Roadside Attraction. A compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel. This one can't do that though, because it's broken.

Locations
Can be found under a skeleton in the crashed scout bus. The Courier can then repair it (with a repair skill of 30, using the nearby Compass sensor module), or taking it to a work bench), fixing it into a fully functioning Compass.
