Better Units Available,
This review is from: Coleman Digital Compass (Sports)
I am an outdoorsman and would not recommend this for several reasons.
1. It is battery operated with no on/off switch! If in the woods for any period of time you must remove the battery to conserve and then reinsert and recalibrate. Ridiculous. Would be difficult in the rain, snow or very cold temperature or if dropped in the snow. 2.Directions for setting this unit up is very cumbersome and you would have to carry the directions because they are so complicated. If you took battery out to conserve then it would have to be set up and recalibrated everytime. I know I can not remember which button to push and in what sequence. Plus side is it is easy to read and appears accurate.

Work great,
By JC Holzer (Pensacola, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coleman Digital Compass (Sports)
We bought two of these for our scouts on an urban engineering challenge. They had never used compasses before, let along digital ones. We showed them how to press the mode button to get to the compass function and to hold it flat. They had absolutely no trouble using them, one of our groups even took first place in the challenge! The only reason I docked the units a star is that it seems silly to have alarm clocks and other functions built in, but not to include a battery saving on-off switch. That said, it is a rather simple matter to insert the battery upside down for long periods of no use.
These compasses are very accurate, easy to read, and well worth the $15 we paid for them. If kids who have never used a compass can take one of these and win an orienteering challenge on their first go, then it serves its purpose well.

Clever but needs improvement,
This review is from: Coleman Digital Compass (Sports)
Decent product with a few areas for improvement:
1) User Manual hard to follow 2) You can not turn the unit off.
