High Expectations That Did Not Live Up
|
Comment:
Had high expectations for this due to some of the reviews. However, no matter where I place the outside temp sensor, it is always way off. The interior sensor just gives you what the dashboard temp is. So, if the sun is baking on the dash then the thing reads the interior temp as 110 degrees. The outside is always off by at least 10 degrees, usually more.
All that said, but there are some good points. First, it is small enough to fit on the dashboard without notice. It has a good compass and the digital clock is useful as well. So, if you want to pay a bunch of money for a good compass and digital clock, here it is. But, I would look elsewhere first.
Comment:
The base doesn't rotate very far so it has to be mounted pretty much on a flat surface like you see in the pictures. I like it.

Not very accurate
|
Comment:
We have set and reset our compass and it doesn't come out true, according to maps. It seems to be about 15-20 degrees off. Plus the thermometer doesn't really work very well either. I'm disappointed in this device.
Comment:
I would have liked the product review to state that it can not be used with a DC plug in adapter. The back light in my opinion is useless. The Celsius to
Fahrenheit switch works only part time. The compass works well when it can be
seen in the daytime. The instruction sheet should have been written by someone who
has a good working knowledge of the English language.
Comment:
I love this item! My hubby bought it for me after 10 years of asking for one. I never know my direction and this helps me a ton. It is totally accurate for me. The only thing I don't like is I have to remember to turn it off to save batteries. It is a nice unit for a vehicle that didn't come with a built in compass and for an person like me who doesn't know North from South unless I really think about where I am on a map and go from there.
