I've tried a number of automobile compasses but they invariably were affected by my vehicle's and environmental factors. Then I purchased the PNI V600 and was in Columbus heaven. Both the car and hand-held appeared to function within a very reasonable level of accuracy. I mounted it a little below my driving line-of-sight which was great.Then after about 6 months, the suction cups gave out at inconsistent intervals. So after each mishap, I'd do my circles,set the buttons and explain to our local law enformance why I was driving in circles. The recalibration usually worked on the first merry-go-round about 4 of 5 times. My most recent attempts were unsuccessful so I'm trying to schedule a fourth try.Nice tool but I feel like a fool-ish gadget lover always headed in the wrong direction.

These compasses are not even worth using...You might just as well navigate using the sun and the stars.

I've been using this compass for a few months now. It wasn't easy setting it up since you have to drive in circles really slowly to get it calibrated. Once it is on, however, it does its job well.
