This particular option is as it's pictured without the compass and does not come with it. The compass option is 499

I am really disappointed, it needs to be re-calibrated frequently and is not reliable. I paid more than this for mine and it lays on a shelf in my office. I think one must spend close to $100.00 or more to get a good compass.

Yes, but I have had better luck with the accuracy of the compass when the vehicle is not moving, why I don't know. It's seems while traveling in motion, it is inaccurate, why I don't know. But over all it work excellent and I even bought a second one as a present for a family member. I think they work great for the price. It also takes some time to receive, after making the purchase from Amazon.com.

I have taken trails that I have never been on, turned the Tracker on and the arrow will point to the direction back to camp. It doesn't show the route you took....It is a High Tech Compass and it will count down in meters as you get closer to camp.

Not that I'm aware of. I flip it upside down and use a Wixey gauge to get me where I need to be.

It came with very basic instuctions on a card. More detailed use of a compass can be found on the internet.

it doesn't have an built in compass, but it hooks up well enough that if you walk in one direction for twenty feet or so it will show you the direction of travel. I love it. Hope that helps. Dave

The compass only seems to function for a 5 degree range of looking "up hill or down hill". Any more elevation than that and my Barska compass seems to "drag" and be very inaccurate.

No I asked also. With a compass, you look through the eyepiece and and fix the compass wheel point to line up with a landmark you want to get to. You then have the direction, north, south, etc to follow the compass line on.

No, it's not a stupid question. Your compass is defective and you should send it back immediately.

Unit is junk. Will not get you back to starting point. I tried it and returned it. Compass did not point to start point. Don't know about storing data.

No, it gives you the compass bearing and distance from your selected base and waypoints. It does that quite well.

no: Mine displays in the compass mode in degrees. In the three tracking mode the displays are in degrees, miles or yards or degrees, meters, kilometers. No coordinates

I don't know for sure, but I suspect there is interference. I have tried four different compass aps and none of them worked properly. I'll try different ones as I find them.

The 4G cellular versions of the iPad Mini have a GPS, but the WiFi-only versions do not. All iPads have a digital compass capability, however there is no native compass App.https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini/specs/There are several Compass apps available from the App store.

Magnets are no good for compasses not gps. GPS uses satalites which has no nothing to do with magnetic north.
