Neat, small and decent functionality, questionable quality February 3, 2004 24 out of 24 found this review helpful
Had to return the first one due to non-functioning thermo and fault compass. Small is nice for hanging it on keys or pack, but the same smallness makes it a little hard to opwerate one handed. I also have a Brunton compass that fits the hajnd much nicer. We'll see how long the 2nd one lasts.
excellent quality November 26, 2003 20 out of 25 found this review helpful
Really well made and solid feeling. Easy to use (has good instructions too). Small enough to clip onto the fanny pack or backpack. Numbers are big enough to easily read. Looks cool too :)
Needs a lot of improvement October 5, 2004 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
Used this Digital Compass for about 20 days and am returning it. It does not seem to be capable of giving reliable directions. The same position - try the reading twice and the directions are off wildly. Tried in open fields, inside my home and the same. Tried calibrating a dozen times and setting the Declination correctly, but no change.
Terrible, too bad I can't rate it 'zero stars.' December 8, 2005 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Don't buy this compass if you need to know any direction. If you know about where the sun sets, you will be more accurate than this "compass." It is impossible to use in the field. A waste of money: inaccurate to the max, impossible to maintain it level, etc. Just junk. They should give them away.
Good but not water resistant March 25, 2006 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Overall I loved my TrailDrop compass until I took it swimming (only a few feet below the surface) and two days later it died.
Positives: - Great form factor: size and shape are perfect... I would consider this to be the primary reason to consider purchase - Decent accuracy on compass... not for serious hiking but good enough to point the general direction
Negatives: - Thermometer seems to be way off... also needs time to cool down after being in a pocket - Not Water Resistant - Color beings to wear away after several long hard trips - Confusing interface (at first)
