Hi Dan, I'm not trying to argue, in fact, I think returning the compass was the right thing for you to do.
However, I received mine and I'm quite happy with its' performance. I never really tested whether it pointed exactly to magnetic north, but I liked the fact that it is consistent. It is also very sensitive to interference from metal. I got inept inconsistent readings if there is a pair of metal tweezers in my shirt pocket. I'm wondering if there is metal near or below the table on which you tested it. Also, the readings are not consistent in certain parts of my house. I attribute that to metal in the walls or some other interference. Again, I still agree with your decision to return it, even though mine works very well outside and away from metal. Just an opinion, Gary > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of cheetah > Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 6:47 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Braille compass. > > hi Dan wow sounds like you have a dog there. > my compass works grate. > Jim in Minnesota > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > >
