Boat Compass Dash Mount Flush - Boating Compass Dashboard Suction - Navigation Marine Compass Boats Surface Mount - Illuminated Dashboard Compass Ship - Electronic Sea Compass

I have mounted it in my Toyota Fortuner, a little big in size but practical, usable and accurate, I understood how to calibrate this device using the given tool and checked with my phone it is very precise. Please make sure you will not keep close to the speakers as it has a magnetic field.

It's a fine instrument for boats. My gripe comes from the descriptions that the independent merchants write about their products. There are many private sellers now. Amazon can't read and review so many products. I bought this for my auto. It's a marine compass, and unless you want a massive presence on your dashboard and some tricky wiring, don't buy it. The word "car" has no place in the product description. Fortunately I have a friend with a boat so I can gift it to him.

I had the pleasure of owning an Airline Marine compass for the last 40 years. The liquid in it finally vanished after all this time. I have always used it on the dash of my older 4 wheeling trucks. It was great, until the fluid vanished. So I looked for a new one. My truck is very old now, I don't drive it as much any more, so I didn't want to spend a lot on a replacement compass. While this is certainly not the quality of the excellent Airline I had, this one is OK on the dash of my 2000 Ram. I can use the compensators to null out the dash and hood and get a fairly accurate heading out of it. You really got to fiddle with them for awhile, but it can be done. Also, the light doesn't work. I had my old Airline wired right into the radio's dimming circuit and that always worked until the light burned out. But this new one didn't even work from the get go. I thought it might be LED and be polarized, so I swapped the wires, to no avail. So I will probably have to find a new bulb for it, which is getting harder these days. Maybe, I'll retrofit it with a cool, colored LED car bulb. I used my old Airline mount for this, which it fit into perfectly, I like the aircraft aluminum design of the Airline mount so much better, it's a cool design when compared against the one shipped with this new compass. For those who complain about it being big, it's meant for big vehicles. Yes, it's going to look out of place in a dinky car. Boats and big trucks and RV's are going to the the appropriate customer for something this big. For older eyes, the larger dial is more legible than the small compasses are. Although, I think the size and style of font and the stenciling of my old Airline was much easier to read than this new one is. In any case, for the price, this is what you're going to get. I didn't expect top drawer, just a good enough compass to get by accurately, and this one fills the bill just fine. At this price, I can afford to replace it with something better later if I so choose, it's no big deal. Considering my Airline was a $100 compass back in the 80's, I think I'm doing OK with this one. If I get 5 to 10 years out of it, I'm doing fine. It'll probably last until I finally have to junk the truck. It works.

Needed a compass for my vehicle -- and found a spot on the dash where the compass was least effected. Took a couple of trips around the block doing a fairly easy adjustment -- and now I know where I'm headed. Very easy to read, although this is really a boat compass - not a car compass. Holds N/S E/W very well.

This is a very good compass but much better suited for boats than cars. It did not function in my car due to all of the electrical interference generated by ALL of the unnecessary electronics that millennials and Gen X'ers now demand. That disappointed me greatly.

Took about 30 minutes to install, looks great works great, I believe this is the second one I purchased over the past few years, the screw holes lined up with the old one just one looks better lights up at night I don’t fish at night too often but when I do I also have a compass on my GPS. Would recommend this compass two others looking for a good looking, operational, and affordable compass.
