Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I know some people have complained about this compass. You have to understand your car is metal and has several electric currents running through which will have some effect on any magnet, including that little tiny one in the compass. Some people have complained about the labels being backward as well. The reason for this is so when the compass is on your dash ( or wherever) you can tell which way you are going without hovering over the compass. If you are headed north the compass will show north on the BACK of the compass so YOU know that is the direction you are headed.
As far as compass adjustments go. I spent five years in the Navy and had to adjust two ship's compasses. That process was far more complicated and took around 8 hours to complete for each compass. The instructions for this compass are fairly straight forward. Find a residential area on a map that is oriented N-S and E-W, I say residential so traffic is a minimal problem. If you normally drive with your radio on make sure yours is on when you adjust your compass. read the instructions a couple of times before you go to make the adjustment and it should be a pretty smooth process.
Remember if you are buying this you are looking for a cheap alternative to GPS. On the order of 10 times less than the cheapest GPS I think this is an excellent deal. The fact that you can adjust this compass means that it will be more accurate than other compasses. And hey, if you don't want to adjust it you should be alright without. I imagine you would still be within 10 degrees of what it indicates (probably closer than that), which will still keep you pointed in the right direction.
I would recommend this to anybody looking for an affordable compass for their automobile.
