Mala, con una ligera inclinación la esfera indicadora se traba. Mala calidad de los materiales. ☹️

I've had a compass in my vehicle for over 40 years. People who say it doesn't work don't understand how a compass works. First, it has to be level. The North-seeking pole will try to point down otherwise. Before trying to adjust the compensating magnets, try to find a place to mount it where it works. The iron in your car shields the compass from the earth's magnetic field. The suction cups won't hold it. I used velcro. It comes with a little piece of velcro. Try to find a place to mount it that you can reach while driving. It has a light that is operated by a push button. To adjust it, find an empty parking lot. Determine which direction (N,S,E,W) the compass is most inaccurate. Then, use the included tool to adjust the compensating magnet so it is less inaccurate. Don't try to make it perfect as you will be making the opposite direction less accurate. You can't get it perfect. This is a great addition to your car and if it keeps you from going the wrong way one time it is worth it.

This is cheap and nasty. The suction cups don't work. The compass ball gets stuck. Even when it is rolling free, it can't seem to figure out which way is North.

This compass is both functional and absolutely dependable.I've owned and used GPS units, but I've gone back to the old tried and true method of map and compass.GPS systems only give directions. It does not give you a plan view of the surroundings in relationship to the particular location of the vehicle's current position.With a compass, you instantly know, if you are going in the wrong direction.With new neodymium magnets, lithium batteries and LED's now so inexpensive, this compass is much better than early models.I have one mounted on my 2012 Prius v wagon without navigation that worked perfectly.I just purchased another and put in on the dash of my 2016 Nissan Versa Note SV. This keeps the strong magnet of the compass away from any close steel or iron of the car body.Forget the suction cups. Use the supplied square of 3M foam padded double stick tape. It works perfectly even on the textured polypropylene dash.When so mounted, this compass works perfectly.Highly recommended!

This compass is barely beyond being a toy. Lets hope our fighting men and women are not using these in battle. That said, for the money it is about what I would expect. I was ready to give this "One Star". After working on calibrating the thing for at least and hour - I did get it to work. Two weeks later it is still working. Follow the directions closely. I went to an empty parking lot to calibrate it. Throw out the suction cups - they don't work. Also know that illuminated means you push a button and and LED lights up for the time you hold in the button. The light does not stay on unless you are holding the button. I wish I had spent a little more money and gotten a better one. I also would buy one that stays illuminated. 3 stars is generous.

Seems kind of cheap. Doesn't stay stuck to the window very well. The compass seems to work alright from a functionality stand point.

Accuracy was good until I moved it into the car. No matter how much fine tuning or relocating, there was just too much interference.Suction cups are too small, compass keeps failing off the windowSAVE YOUR MONEY!

Tried this on several surfaces (windshield, dashboard, etc.) and it simply did not stick. We ended up sticking it out of the ashtray since we don't smoke. The compass ball works only if the unit is very level. Otherwise it gets stuck and does not show the right direction. The LED light is a nice addition.
