They aren't all magnetic compasses, dumbass.
And yes, they are all necessary at some point or another when you are navigating.

I see:
1 RMI
1 VOR
2 HSI's
1 Standby Compass

Although on some of these instruments you can see your heading, they all serve a different purpose.

The HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) is a compassrose.
The VOR has a rose which must be moved by hand and is used to navigate with VOR beacons.
The RMI displays a moving compass rose and a needle pointing to and NDB beacon.

The standby compass is purely magnetic and is used to crosscheck the HSI's with (they work with a gyro) and in case of instrument failure.

The Attitude indicator (horizon) is guided by a gyroscope. When you power down the aircraft and the gyro's stop the horizon will "wander away"
Note: below the attitude indicator you will find a pull knob to level the instrument again.

Anyone mind telling me why they're called cockpits ? They're not exactly pits, and where's the cocks ?

Its kind of a long story.
In medieval Europe cockfights were held as a passtime, just like horseraces now. The fights were held in a pit: the cockpit.
In the British navy small control rooms for junior officers were called cockpits because of their size and workload.
Somehow this got transferred to aviation.
