Hi matt - - I have not used this unit before.. I purchased a different
electronic compass, which has been knocked around under the seat of my
truck and stuffed in my glove box... because I got bugged that it never
seemed to read properly. Might be all the tall buildings around here in
Chicago.. I dunno.
As for the unit you linked to - I remembered seeing that thing on
JCwhitney.com... sure enough...
http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=183600&BQ=jcw2
thats it there... looks like the same unit but marketed under a
different name.
This was the unit I bought...

I am going to change the battery in it and try using it again. IT
seemed to work well when I first got it - but it kept reading "distortion".
