Rating: - big compass for a little car
We own a small coupe and the compass is too big for the dash and doesn't articulate enough to get it to hang off the visor. It also has chrome trim that reflects. I can't find a place to anchor it so that it is readable. It does fit down by the gearshift but there it's not easily visable and the plastic facia doesn't allow clear seeing when I wear the polarized sunglasses. It does appear to be accurate. It comes with double sided velcro to attach to the dash - not on my new car!

Rating: - Type S digital automobile compass
Even though I have a portable Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS system, which works very well, I find I often need to know in exactly which direction I am headed, e.g., when the Nuvi says, "Go north to ..." I had purchased one of these compasses for one of my vehicles, and decided to buy one for the other.

I have found that it works very well, once it is calibrated, unless the batteries vibrate loose. It was very difficult for me to figure out how to open the battery compartment, since they provide no understandable instructions, but very easy to do so once I figured it out. I wish the backlight would stay on longer after being turned on. I find it interesting to see how much the direction shown changes before and after calibration, i.e., after it has adjusted for the car's magnetic field with the engine running.

Rating: - nice compass!
It looks nice, it works good and accurate. Has a lightning button which lasts for a few seconds at night, and an auto-turn off feature. Warns when batteries run on low, however can run for a rather long time after it.

Seems to work well. Will need a couple of months to check it out.
