    I don't like depending on a Mobile Phone to point north. Even after 5 mins of figure eights in the air results are mixed. Give me a good ole magnetized piece of iron anyday.

  It shouldn't be too expensive to make a compass. I'm amazed how these companies sent things cheaper than AusPost letters though. I'll get one as my Alcatel phone's digital compass never points me in the right direction.

  Strange how, at only 39 cents, this one doesn't seem to be stirring the passions of the ozbargain community.

  I must admit, it is a bit underwhelming for me too.

    Yeah, I think we were all 'Meritlined' last year which is why I haven't bothered with anything else for many months and until now. I can't fit any more cheap Meritline stuff in my Workshop however I do have space for one of these in my car glovebox. A cheap compass is always handy to have around.

  Found it. You have to edit your cart and not go straight to checkout

  ah! I wonder if you will get lost with this one? :P

  Ordered one thanks OP. Site accepts paypal but will only discount 1 compass. So if you order 2 you pay normal price for the second one.

  nice deal. Haven't visited meritline for many months now - got sick of all the stuff that wouldn't ship here.
  Great for a kid, but most smartphones have a magnetometer app that does the same for free.

    The smartphone thingo only works when you in range of multiple transmitting towers. Its not very accurate in the bush

      Exactly the reason I bought a proper $50 compass a few years back… but that one isn't going to rattle around in my toolbox or glovebox and get all scratched up :)

      Wait, what??? How do you think a magnetometer in a mobile phone actually works?!

• 

  youknow on 19/02/2013 - 15:39

  Nice. Glovebox material as others have suggested. Possibly fun/educational for kids too.
  If nothing else, it doesn't go flat like a phone can, so if truely up **** creek, could be useful (certainly more so than Apple's map app! ;)

    I was just thinking about this. There have been places in the world I've had to pay 3 times this amount just to pee!
