Default 91.205 compass requirement

My ASG-29 POH requires one magnetic compass. I tried to use a little $4 stick on commas, but the examiner would not license it without a "robust aviation compass". So I had to mount one on the glare shield. I have two electronic flux gate compasses, plus maps and eyes so I thought I could leave the whiskey compass, not so

In my LAK17at manual it states as minimum equipment "magnetic direction indicator (compensated in an aircraft)". I believe most people have interpreted this to mean a compass.

Apparently, there is some other interpretation or wording in the newer manuals that allows a GPS magnetic direction indicator to be substituted.
