A Compass That Points To A Place You Pick

Forget north. This compass points to your place — where you proposed, where she said yes, where you built your life together. It's built from solid maple and brass, designed to last decades, and doesn't need an app, an account, or the internet.

Over 1,500 shipped. More than a dozen proposals. One couple used it for a treasure hunt through the story of their relationship. Another family passes it around at reunions to point the way back home.

This is a modern heirloom. Pick your spot.

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.
