They're better than nothing if you have the time and patience to stop, hold the thing very level, open and look. Usually they have to be held within a very few degrees of level so as to allow the card to spin on its needle bearing freely. So, it's of no use trying to follow a course or read whilee moving. If you have any trouble telling where level is, or following a straight course once you've found it, then the thing will probably not help much. Hope this gives you some idea whether it'll fit your needs. Tom Fowle [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
