Beautiful craftsmanship that fills me with fondness every time I look to it nestled on the bookshelf. Traveling gets a touch of whimsy watching the next destination draw nearer, while on the back the spiral of coordinates grows as we write down our favorite spot each trip. It is a symbol and a story, brilliant engineering and a work of art.
Compass is really cool, seems to work as it should. Looks great in person.
Knocking off a star because one of the screws inside the faceplate was out and rattling around inside the compass. I had to remove the faceplate and screw it back in. Not a big deal, but quality control could use another look.
This company is amazing! So far I have had a great experience!
One thing I didn’t realize before ordering this that made it even better than five stars was the amount of individual care that goes into each one. These aren’t mass produced and made one by one in a studio, which I think really increases the quality of what’s put into it. When you hold onto the compass, it feels very well-made and it’s very easy to figure out. Thank you so much for putting this together and look forward to using this in the future.
The ProxBox is truly unique and unmatched in the market. It works exactly as described and is even more impressive in person. Upon activation, it is super exciting to turn on and watch the compass and distances calibrate. Not to mention also being extremely accurate.
This isn't just for couples! - The device makes a great treasure hunt for kids or adults, and is endlessly reusable. It forces exploration to places known and unknown, and creates a great bond around a shared experience.
Creative ideas for the ProxBox include adult Treasure Hunts, Team Building Exercises for work events, Reuniting Old Friends with a shared meeting place, an added layer to any Birthday or Holiday gift (Ex: a parent or relative could hide money in the box and send the kids on a journey to gain access to the contents), or even as a Posthumous Gift from a loved one who has moved on but wants to leave a final message or memory (heck - even the Will could be hidden in the box). The options are endless.
With the ProxBox - both the Journey AND the Destination are enjoyed. Choose your own adventure!
The actual device is a 5 star. But I ordered and paid for non glare glass and the reset button. Neither of which was on the device I received.
*** UPDATE *** Karl responded within minutes and refunded for the glass and button !! Great product and service !! Great Anniversary gift. Wife loved it. I plan to order more as gifts.
This is the perfect gift for a dual military couple who have been to so many memorable places. We can set the coordinates to a specific location that has special meaning to us and take a trip down memory lane. What a great way to relive these moments on our 20 year anniversary.
Karl did a fantastic job with my custom design. Very excited about the result!
Most inique item I have ever owned. Plan on using it to propose
Wonderful gift for 60th wedding anniversary!! Great craftmanship and tremendous customer service. Highly recommend!
I bought the Pro Box for my wife’s 40th birthday to hide some jewelry in. We had a tripped planned to the mountains in North Carolina, so I set it to open there. I was blown away by the quality of the compass. Karl was also awesome to work with. Our relationship got started on a celestial theme, and I really wanted the Sun, Moon, and Stars faceplate on the Pro Box, but that wasn’t an option. I emailed Karl and he made it happen.
My wife also loved it. I don’t think I’ll ever find a better gift than this. It was so satisfying to pull in the driveway of our mountain cabin and watch my wife’s face light up when the drawer opened.
(Also, the video of him being inspired by the Beacons of Gondor as a way to re-program the compass was great, huge LOTR fan)
What a fitting carrying case for such a fine instrument
I'm an Electrical Engineer and trust me this is the coolest device you'll ever get your hands on for the money.
This compass is amazing! Its by far tue coolest gift that you can buy for someone! Also, the customer service and lightning fast email replies are just added icing on the cake!
Love the product! Can’t wait to use it on our next family trip
Karl was so awesome to work with! My wife hasn’t stopped wandering around the house with the compass in her hand and figuring out which direction our wedding venue is.
Amazing attention to detail and follow thru
The ProxBox is one of the most unique and nifty gifts I have received. It is very accurate and so fun to watch the hands move as you near your target. The box opens consistently at the correct location and is large enough to hold a substantial gift or two. It’s re-usability, recharge-ability, and easy programming will make for a lifetime of fun. I can’t wait to upscale this for my next treasure hunt! What a cool product!!
Love it, I’m sure my wife will too when she sees ot on valentines day!!! Didn’t even know you could program a sequence of coordinates, need to advertise that better, got more than I expected. I will definitely be using it for future dates with my wife. This one takes is to a picnic where we got married
I was able to contact them to arrange an expedited order to have my compass arrive in time for an anniversary gift. They responded extremely quickly and were able to accommodate me. The product that they produced and shipped is amazing and I could not recommend these guys any more highly!
I ordered 15 compasses as holiday gifts for my team. Karl and team built them, packaged them, and had them to me in less than 5 days so that I could get them out for the holidays. They all arrived perfectly packaged and ready to go. The Truest North Compass is beautiful, the craftsmanship is fantastic, and it provides so much value for the price. I always get questions and compliments about mine when guests arrive. I highly recommend getting one for your home or office!
Very happy with this product, I bought it as a gift for a friend. Build quality and customised box are very nice!
Would highly recommend!
