CutePinkElephant 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 These days still got use compass meh? Many ppl use watches which have electronic compass, others use GPS liao. Anyway.. cheap or expensive compass all work the same. If it works, it works. Expensive ones simply means more durable, it will work all the time. Cheap ones maybe knock a bit, stop spinning liao. Good ones got better magnetic insulation so that small metal objects nearby dun interfere with magnetic north.
