Can you spin it manually to look at the diff countries or will sticking your hand in there interrupt the magnetic flow &amp; the globe will fall?

Most likely, you would disrupt the the magnetic flow and it would fall. You could try it as long as your hand isn't between the top of the globe and the magnet. But I feel if you try to spin it, it will disrupt the flow and fall.

No- it is not a touch activated globe. Just the buttons on the bottom ask you questions and you can refer to the globe

You should build a non-magnetic globe around the magnet. There is another product which is exactly this, so if you didn't buy yet you should prefer buy the globe instead

I bought the magnetic thermometer. It will sink without the magnet. The reading is incorrect anyway so I don't recommend buying.

No. I have been putting off sending it back and knowing me, I probably never will. The globe talks now but never finishes whatever it is saying and is hard to understand. No sense in blowing money on this joke. Sorry not a happy experience. :(

Hello! There is a cord that is hardwired in the base with an inline switch. On many globes the cord exits out the south pole on the meridian, this is a nicer setup with it exiting out the back of the base.

i gave this as a gift & don't know the answer to these questions. i didn't see any update available & the globe appeared to be permanently attached to the stand

You can take it out, both hemispheres on (or off) to form the globe :) . Don't know the size of the magnet, fits in your palm, it should be about the diameter of the globe itself.

The globe turns on the earth's axis and it can be rotated about another axis which has one pole at about 40 degrees latitude. This makes the globe useful, since you can tilt it to look more easily at the southern hemisphere while you spin it on its polar axis. The base is made of iron, since a magnet will cling to it.

I don't know. My gut feeling is no. The circle of magnetic material is so small that I can't imagine the magnetic "force" would be very significant.

Today's cell phone "compasses" are gps based, not magnetic. There will be no interference by any magnet at any time. Rest assured.

If you are referring to discrete magnetism caused by the milling and the magnetic field of the Earth that would be a no with my experience with this device. It is an excellent tool for detecting radiant fields generated from other sources, but the fields generated in Geo-magnetism are well below the detection threshold of this device as best as I can tell. If however you are trying to read the EM field generated by inducing current through said steel plate this is your device!

no, you have to flip it over after scanning the first side. It's very quick to do both sides.

Hello Bryan. You should try with your own magnet globe, if it doesn´t work, I think you could made your own plastic globe around the original magnet without problem.And I told you, you should have patient to put the magnet in the center, I did it almost in five minute my first time, but in the afternoon, I was already putting in a few seconds...

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".

No - you can adjust tilt. However, it is on about a 10 degree tilt permanently per the picture. The globe spins by hand, is high quality and is very nice for display in home/office etc. with raised geographic features and an antique look. It lights up from inside so has nice glow in evening (not bright) - a great gift!

The globe unscrews and I do this all in the sink or outside by the hose. Fill the globe and hold it upside down so that I can screw the bottom on tight and then flip it right up and no problems. While screwing on the black bottom portion, that part is on top while you are holding the globe upside down. Works great.
