Hello, One place you might want to check is the Boy Scout office. They used to sell a very reliable Braille Compass.
I have one and have had it for a good 20 years. Only complaint is that it is a bit slow to hone in on the direction but you can easily get used to it. It has a lock which will allow you to feel and fumble with the reading without moving the direction indicator.

I'd simply like to know if anyone is using a Braille compass that works reliably for them. I tried the Columbus Talking Digital Compass and I found it to be absolutely worthless. In a majority of the times I tried to use the compass it gave me readings that were completely wrong. I returned it yesterday. I've seen advertisements for a couple of Braille compasses but I'd like to know if they're any better than the talking compasses before I go through all the trouble of ordering one only to return it a few days later. Any advice on a reliable Braille compass will be greatly appreciated. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
