This technology is called Magneto-Indcuctive and is the greatest advance in compass technology since the fluxgate was invented 60 years ago. Magneto-Inductive technology electronically senses the difference in the earth's field from your vehicle's magnetic field, then an on-board microprocessor electronically subtracts out your vehicle's magnetic field, displaying highly accurate compass readings. Magneto-Inductive sensor technology has many advantages over other technologies, including enhanced performance, less power consumption and lower cost. These advantages have made Wayfinder Magneto-Inductive sensor technology the choice for many high-profile compass applications including GM, Ford, and Chrysler automobiles, Bayliner boats, Timex watches and Samsung cell phones. | | | Features: | |

 Save your money!Nov 20, 2007
I have had this product since February 2007. After 11 months I don't recommend this to anyone. If you just want a compass, then buy just that. If you want the extras, find another brand. The altimeter is a joke.
Not only do you need to reset it each day, but it won't hold it's setting for an hour. It has to be constantly reset. Driving on level ground it will jump to a new setting, even to showing that you are now below sea level. The clock works just fine. How many clocks do you need in a vehicle? If you buy this, buy a box of batteries too. Your going to need them.

 Wayfinder V7500 Compass Plus IIINov 05, 2007
Bought it in October, mostly for the compass. Once I put it in the middle of the windshield, the compass now works fine. The altimeter is kind of a joke - it recommends that you reset it each day. The barometer is amusing. The "atomic" clock did not automatically do the daylight savings time switch.
Note: Today, 11/5/07, my Wayfinder tells me the date is 10/36. :)
As of now the atomic clock always resets the clock to Mountain Standard Time - I live in Central and it's now daylight time. It does not deserve the three stars I gave it.

Mis-advertisedOct 04, 2007
Bought this product because it said there was an indoor/outdoor thermometer, however there was not. I returned the product, but have only received "store credit". Never used the product so I can't give it a fair review, though it looked nice.

needs improvmentJan 11, 2007
it is very difficult to read. The black letters and a dim light make it difficult. The altimter is not even close. I know it works by berometeric pressure, but I am not 45 feet below sea level. I have tries to correct it according to the directions but!!! Also, the directions are off, when I go west, it states east etc. Do not recommend it.
