Electrocompass

"Don't worry, Threepio. Artoo won't get lost. He has the electrocompass."

―4B-X to C-3PO

An electrocompass was a navigational instrument that helped its owner find his or her bearings on unfamiliar ground. The astromech droid R2-D2 once used one such device while exploring a snowy region of the planet Da'nor.
