Really enjoyed the compass both in terms of the quality of build and the originality of the idea. Highly recommend for anyone building out their own treasure hunt.
Great addition to road trips for an extra treasure hunt near the destination
My wife asked me if my her Christmas present would make her cry, I said I wasnt sure. The compass pointing to our wedding location with our wedding song inscribed in the glass certainly moved her to tears, in the best way.
My partner proposed to me under my favorite tree and we are having our very small wedding there. Shortly thereafter we'll be moving across the country. This really was made for us. I'm excited for a smaller version. That will make a wonderful anniversary gift.
The compass is so well made with great attention to details. The design is elegant and what makes it so special is that it points to our special place!
I also noticed I can change the direction and reprogram it to easily.
We love it!!!
This compass is well made and works exactly as suggested by the product description. It makes a great display piece as well as a tool I use with my students for orienteering.
This is truly a unique product, beautiful to display and quality is amazing but the best part is the customer service. I truly appreciate the attention to details and making every customer feel special. Many thanks!
The Truest North Compass is possibly the best gift I have ever purchased for my wife! The build quality, the finish, the customer service all were top quality. Karl is an absolute diamond and a pleasure to deal with. Every question I had was answered and very promptly as well! I have recommended this to friends and family and I honestly cannot recommend this enough, And genuinely look forward to dealing with Karl in the future!
The compass exceeded my expectations! It's definitely a conversation starter!
When I saw this item, I knew I had to have one. As an avid geocacher and navigation enthusiast this idea really appealed to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the fit and finish when it arrived and the overall beauty of the piece. It has a weightiness in hand that speaks to the quality of the build. I love showing it off at events and watching folks marvel at it in action. The marriage of old-world charm with modern technology makes this a great conversation piece with a practical use. I love it and I am excited to see what they do next!
Karl,
You made a wonderful compass. I mostly use it when friends and relatives come to visit, I load up local attractions and restaurants and even though I know where I am going it is fun and exciting for my guests. I am looking forward to your next project.
I loved the look and idea of this project. It was easy to program and looks great on the shelf. Location interference from weather and buildings made the product unable to maintain course while using during extended periods, however, those issues aren’t due to the developer. Overall, I was very pleased with how this product came out!
As a tech-loving guy who appreciates the finer, more unique things in life, the Truest North Compass absolutely blew me away! I backed this project specifically for a surprise proposal, and it was the perfect touch. The level of customization and the obvious care put into crafting each compass is incredible. My fiancé loved it (almost as much as I do, haha!), and it made the moment even more special. If you appreciate niche, beautifully made items, this compass is a must-have!
Karl is a thoughtful creator and the product makes for a great commemorative or gift. The service was wonderful too. Love the compass and so glad we found it for a perfect wedding gift. Would strongly recommend in every way!
The Truest North compass is a great idea carefully crafted to point exactly where your special place is, wherever on Earth. Karl was very kind and patient to attend our customization requests and suggested delightful combinations of materials to make it truly unique. It’s an unforgettable gift and an invaluable tool to bond and connect. I love it.
I used this to propose to my fiancee. It led her to a location that is very special to us, and she said it was very simple to use. I can vouch for the ease of programming. Highly recommend for fun adventures or as a keepsake of one special event.
I am very impressed with the quality of the compass. Of course the whole idea is impressive, but I didn't expect the quality of materials. Well done!
I bought this to take my wife on a cross-country scavenger hunt for her 50th birthday. She has been to 48 states and we are going to complete the list by spending her 50th birthday in Alaska's Denali National Park.
This is a beautiful piece! Just for looks it's an amazing art piece that looks great on our bookshelf!
Now for it's functionality is brilliant in its own right! So cool to have a 'compass that doesn't point north' like the one in the movies! It's so neat to use for special places, scavenger hunts, and geo caching!
This is so fun to add a bit of whimsy and adventure to our lives!
I was one of the early buyers of the Truest North Compass and I couldn't be more happy with the product and the customer service. First, the quality of the product is top notch. Hand made, well designed, and made in the USA. It's a substantial size and weight that really demands attention on a desk, bookshelf, etc. Second, the customer service is fantastic - the team is happy to respond to any questions and help if there are any issues.
I'm really impressed with this compass and love the fine details included. I love the way the dials spin when you first turn it on. I plan to use mine as a part of a custom escape "room" that takes the adventurer outdoors as well as indoors.
If you ever wanted to play pirates of the carribean, this is it! It points to whereever you want, and is infitely programmable (i suggest you get the version with the built in resetbutton.) It's a great way to play adventure games, or as a gift to your daughter who moved coasts so she always know which way and how far she is from home...
Beautiful, functional, unique.
Amazing!
This is amazing. Very high quality and the folks are wonderful to work with. Best anniversary gift I ever gave my wife!
