Does this compass have a clinometer function?

Jimmy, I don't see a clinometer on the one I got. If it did have one it probably wouldn't work any better than the rest of the compass. I suggest you go to the suunto site and look into the MC-2 series and get a real compass. You will pay more, but you will have something that works and you could depend on if you needed it.

no, it does not. just has a large readout and slim design, outside of that its just a scale.

Quite likely as the compass part is in the mirror. You would still have to install the mirror, but if you didn't install the temperature sensor I don't think that would have any effect on the compass.

No. One must account for declination mathematically when using an Army issue compass; declination is indicated on MGRS maps and should be calculated in after reading.

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

Hi, The system works pretty well but you must ground it or no compass function...at least in my case. Had it for about 18 months. Good luck. John

I think this is correct... Sensors: Light - YES Accelerometer - YES GPS - YES Compass - NO Gryoscope - YES Barometer - NO

I don't refer to the compass or thermometer since I use the pole for stability in walking the dog. Adjusting the length of the pole to fit your height seems straight forward. I prefer the pole to a cane.

This device will work as a speedometer anywhere in the world. It can act as a directional compass and also a altimeter. It has a mode to log your travel route, speed and time for later download to your computer. It is NOT a maping display type of gps that many put in their car for directions.

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

Pretty much a toy. Some seemed to point the right direction. I would not use this as a real compass.

It can be used to measure rotational acceleration, but not the incline or tilt. What it sounds like you are looking for is a magnetometer. Take a look at the MPU-9150, which is a version of this chip with a magnetometer added.

It will automatically measure that I believe. Never tried to measure the opposite direction

So easy! There is a little screw on the back. The key comes with in. Check the declination of you region on the internet: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination and set it in your compass.

The only answer to your question that I have is that I didn't have to calibrate mine, and it seems to work correctly. This is not a hi-tech compass. It's pretty cheap overall. But if you can't afford a good one, it works in a pinch. It sticks to your window wherever it is convenient for you.

There is no clock function. It is however incredibly useful in ways of marking waypoints. Its battery life is amazing as well. I use it as a hunting/tracking aid. Let's face it... If you are out on a trek and need to know what time it is then you need to rethink your trek :)

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.
