Elisa Ng –
Wah, I never thought I could navigate through the woods so easily with my new compass. How does it adjust itself to my surroundings? Is it using some sort of GPS technology?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Problue GU-1300 Compass with Retractor, Elisa! You’re right, this compass is designed to make navigation much easier. However, it doesn’t rely on GPS technology. The needle is magnetized to align with the Earth’s magnetic field, providing a clear direction. The adjustable declination setting also allows you to account for any local magnetic variations, helping you stay on course. If you have any further questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I’m really disappointed with the durability of the retractor. After just a few uses, it started to show signs of wear and tear. It’s also not very easy to adjust the length of the retractor. Overall, it’s an okay compass, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
