yes

as there are no stars in the day so with the help of compass now they can even get the directions during the day time .

 as there is a cloudy day stars cannot be see so with the help of magnet they can get directions easily.

compass is better because we cannot see stars in day or cloudy whaether &compass is used anytime  

Stars and sun

It is better to use a magnetic compass other than following the stars and sun as they may not be visible during bad weathers. We also cannot see the sun during night time and we cannot see the stars during day time.
