  • This one actually looks cool. I've once owned a cheap digital compass like this but to me it was more a novelty than something that I would depend on for orienteering. A great but more expensive alternative could be a wrist watch with all these features. I think that some g-shock models can do that.

    In my experience old fashion magnetic compasses hold an advantage: you can easily see if your needle is behaving erratically (e.g. attracted by some items that you're carrying).

  • @coolstuffaddict

    I tend to agree, this is purely an experiment.. so far it leans to novelty / kids toy

    I think the watch idea is a much better way to go

  • Is the big box store a brand name store in Arizona?

  • @biguy525

    wallmart, I just didn't see the need to advertise for them in the vid, LOL

  • I'd like to see an update on this cause the my local store finally started carrying them and I'd like to see if it's worth the 20bux.

  • Is there a part 2? This was like an unboxing.

  • Can you do a video showing this product in use? I just saw this in my local store and thought about using this for a Scout Camping trip.

  • Unlike the deputysheriff below I did find the device useful for a real quick overview of the weather, barometric pressure, and possible altitude. I took this with me on my 3 day 34 mile canoe trip through the Delaware Water Gap. I was able to compare the temperature to another device for accuracy and it seemed to be close enough, Altitude seemed to be somewhat close after calibration. I have a hand held compass that I am going to calibrate this to and double check. For the price it's not to bad

  • Man, you took 6 minutes & 55 seconds to tell us absolutley not a friging thing about that digital compass. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING// You don't know about this signal, you don't know about that signal, guess I'll just have to try it out and figure where the hell I am in this universe. Good job Bumpkin. I won't be buying one

  • Cool, but.......I think I'll just stick with my Silva. 18 years old now and no dead batteries when I needed it most.

  • @GearBuyersGuide im too old-school, i have a hard time operating hand-held GPS, I just say fuck it and make my life easier by taking a map and a panel-compass because that's the way i learned, and the best thing is; neither run out of juice. There's pro's and con's to having gear like this
