Why a compass when I have GPS?
GPS units fail — flat batteries, water damage, or the satellite goes out of view in a deep cliffed bay. A compass always works.

Top of dashboard, away from metal and speakers. Calibrate annually.
Is it required by law?
Not in all states, but transport authorities recommend one as part of basic safety gear.
