The article's headline says true north but it seems the device actually senses magnetic north.

Joe - headline says magnetic now? Interesting device but $419 for a device that beeps when you are facing magnetic north makes it an expensive gimmick especially when it is basically a compass. Strange the article didn't mention military applications.
Thanks for posting Aussie Paul

Regards

Any body with a pointers watch and sun shining,
can give you North.(Midday a bit of a prick.)

And MOST Phones and\or GPS have MAG, compass in them.

Just another con to part fools from their money Hey.

 

PS. Anybody wanting a body implant.

I'm getting one on 30th Jan 

a bit dearer than that though.
