This is a small compass, easy to carry. It has a small whistle which I suppose can come in handy. Mostly it is small, seems well built, and compact. The orange color makes it easy to find in a pack. I fond it great for showing just which way is NORTH.
My main use for it is assisting many GPSs, of which may have electronic compasses but not all. A small traditional compass can quickly re-orient you.

Very usefull and small to not take up much space to have in your pocket when out and about if you need direction. Would be nice if it had a thermometer on it as some others do but still a great item. Whistle is loud

I can never understand why electronics manufacturers have to put a bunch of unnecessary "features" into whatever they make. I wanted a simple digital scale to measure road maps, but after wading through the confusing instructions, punching button after button to set up time zones and such, I finally got to the map measurer part. It required so many mathematical calculations to make the conversion to the proper scale that my head was spinning - and then when I used it on a local map where I knew the actual distances, it was way off. On top of that, the last digit on the LED screen would only light up partway. Poor quality, very difficult to understand and operate - I sent it back for a refund.
