It does work in the southern hemisphere; the only difference is in the Northern Hemisphere the red part of the needle points North. When you are in the Southern Hemisphere you would use the other end of the needle to guide you. Please reply when you get this message.

Quite likely as the compass part is in the mirror. You would still have to install the mirror, but if you didn't install the temperature sensor I don't think that would have any effect on the compass.

It orients to a magnetic north, but if you plan to use this for hiking or navigating unknown areas -- I'd pay a few more dollars and get a "real" compass. It works, but it truly isn't a device you should rely on for "stable directions".

I was sure this compass was made in the USA but the packaging is of course long gone. As I type this I have the compass with me but can't find any made in USA engraving or otherwise ? Sorry !

It does not have a magnetic compass. However it does have a "compass function" which gives you your direction based on GPS data. In other words it can tell you you're going 50 degrees N/NE, while you're moving. But you can't stand in one place and get a direction for north, like you would with a regular compass.

There is a setting to adjust the sound of the GPS voice and the music does go down when there are directions to be spoken but be aware that the GPS SUCKS!!! It tells me you have reached your destination on the left and it's either a mile or so up the road or it gives the wrong side. I have had nothing but problems with it, I should have just stuck with my Garmin. TERRIBLE!!!

to power the backlighting in the compass. under low light situations you won't be able to see the compass without the light.

I'm not sure. But if you want to use the compass, you must remove the knife and other steel things for the compass to work perfectly.

I've never used that feature, but yes, it does have a compass. As I understand it you create routes and mark points.

it doesn't have an built in compass, but it hooks up well enough that if you walk in one direction for twenty feet or so it will show you the direction of travel. I love it. Hope that helps. Dave

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

You have a magnetic dampened compass it does not require liquid to operate properly. Open the cover on the compass and pull the rear sight up. When the rear sight is in the down position itlocks the floating dial in place. If this information does not help you send the compass back for replacement or refund.

there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

The Nordics Navigator is the only non-US/Canada map set we have used, so I can't help you there.

Magnets are no good for compasses not gps. GPS uses satalites which has no nothing to do with magnetic north.
