A Compass That Points To A Place You Pick

The Truest North Compass looks like a regular compass, but where it points is up to you. No matter where life takes you, your compass will point to your special spot - the place that has been your anchor, the place where you first met that special someone, the mountaintop you conquered, or even the location of hidden treasure.

How does it work?

You would never know it, but hidden inside the compass is some pretty high tech! A GPS chip, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and proximity sensor - so it works no matter which direction you face, no matter where in the world life takes you.

Compass Features

Reprogrammable

You can use a smartphone or tablet to reprogram your compass to point to a new spot, or even reprogram your compass to point to a sequence of locations!

Long Battery Life

If the compass is just sitting on your desk, it enters power-saving mode, and will last approximately 100 days on a charge. The battery will last for about 12 hours of continuous use if you are constantly using it to navigate.

High Quality Materials

The base of the compass is made out of solid maple, while the brass ring is solid H62 brass available with a clear coat, chrome coating, gold coating, or aged finish.

Customizable

In addition to choosing the destination the compass comes pre-loaded with, you can pick your faceplate and metal finish, etch a custom message on the glass of your compass, and add a custom-engraved wooden box.
