Startup Truest North Compass offers an alternative way of navigation for real romantics. Carl Smith, a former software developer for Amazon and Google, and now a writer, has created an unusual version of a compass. The main arrow in it points not to the north, but to the point, which the owner of the device will designate. For example, a home or a memorable place.
When you buy it, you need to set the starting point, but the compass can be reconfigured at any time. To do this, you will need to set a new value on the manufacturer’s website through a smartphone, and then bring the gadget to the screen. The one will start flashing in binary code and the compass light sensor will accept the command. It’s hard to say how convenient this method of orientation on the terrain is, but Truest North Compass is not a full-fledged replacement for traditional compasses – it’s a souvenir.
