5.0 out of 5 stars Not a toy ..., January 3, 2008
By Don Snyder (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
... not a game, this is a real sextant! This thing (and it's little brother) has been used to guide sailors around the world! With a Quartz wristwatch, some tables and one of these plastic sextants, you can find your location anywhere you're likely to go.

Something to have when your GPS quits.
