Hi all - Another waste of dosh! I think I paid about £35 for this, and it's a load of rubbish. My experience with it, found it to be both inaccurate and unpredictable. Like many things produce for blind people, it is also very ugly, and cheap looking/feeling. I'm not just banging the old drum of complaint against equipment produced for the blind. In fact, it saddens me to find yet again the same experience, of over-priced [but I do understand the niche market equals fewer sales argument] ugly build, hardly fit for purpose, assistive equipment. I always try to buy where I can, mainstream equipment, and figure out how to get the best from it, but sometimes, mainstream can be too non-accessible, and I am forced to go to the so-called specialists. It truly gives me no pleasure in bringing to the attention of the list this poor piece of specialist equipment, but I think we need to keep shouting for equality in product performance, reliability, and aesthetic appeal. I don't want big clunky stuff in my pockets, or around my house, just because it can talk, or give me some other kind of additional feedback. As I have said before on this list, the PTR1 was the most over-priced, mal-functioning, hugely ugly piece of junk, I've ever wasted 600 quid on. Sadly, I've wasted 35 on a useless compass, that thinks North is wherever it fancies, on any given day - Andy
