| V600 Compass |
![]() |
| The V600 electronic vehicle compasses are powerful navigational tools that provide unequaled performance in any car, truck, RV, or SUV. They utilize the same magnetic sensor technology found in built-in compasses in GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles. Unlike traditional floating ball compasses that require difficult manual adjustments, these compasses electronically compensate for the magnetic fields generated by a vehicle. The V600 adds both travel-alarm capability and an additional sensor to allow the unit to be detached and used as a handheld outdoor compass as well. FEATURES/BENEFITS Works in Any Vehicle: Accurate in all types of vehicles --- cars, trucks, SUVs, or RVs. Patented Magnetic Sensor Technology: The V500 Series uses patented magnetic sensor technology designed for the U.S. military --- the same technology used by GM, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler. Easy-to-Read Display: All models show the direction traveled with 16 cardinal points (N, NNE, NE, ENE, etc.). The V600 shows 1° numeric digits (345°, 346°, 347°, etc.) for precise heading information. Bright Backlight: An extra-bright backlight illuminates the large LCD for easy viewing day or night. Simple Electronic Calibration: No manual adjustments are needed: Just press a button and drive your vehicle in two circles, and calibration does not have to be repeated until batteries are removed or the compass is moved to a new location. Smart Auto-Shut-Off Feature: Turns off automatically when the vehicle is parked and no magnetic field is detected for ten minutes. Clock: Choose between standard and military time. Magnetic Distortion Detection: Warns you when magnetic interference from moving objects is compromising compass accuracy. Adjustable Bracket: Easily mounts to any windshield with heavy duty suction cups (included). Accuracy Specs: +/- 5° accuracy, with numeric display at 1°. Dimensions: All units measure a compact 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.75, and weigh just 3.7oz (excluding bracket). Wide Temperature Range: -14°F to 140°F operating, -40°F to 160°F storage. The V600 can be removed from the bracket and used as a handsome travel-alarm clock. Automatic Trip Timer: Counts up in hours, minutes and seconds, and can be started and stopped any number of times. Bearing: Can store a bearing-point into memory as a navigational aid. Handheld Compass: An additional sensor gives the V600 the ability to read compass headings in either a vertical or horizontal position, making it a dual-purpose unit. |
