In addition to the items you mentioned I use a "Portland combined protractor and parallel rule" made by Blundell & Harling UK. It is a 360 deg square protractor about 10 inches on the side with big numbers for those over 40...sounds like the Linex nautical grid protractor mentioned by Mike. Very useful. Got mine from Celestaire.
