Title: Work great
Product review: We bought two of these for our scouts on an urban engineering challenge. They had never used compasses before, let along digital ones. We showed them how to press the mode button to get to the compass function and to hold it flat. They had absolutely no trouble using them, one of our groups even took first place in the challenge! The only reason I docked the units a star is that it seems silly to have alarm clocks and other functions built in, but not to include a battery saving on-off switch. That said, it is a rather simple matter to insert the battery upside down for long periods of no use.These compasses are very accurate, easy to read, and well worth the $15 we paid for them. If kids who have never used a compass can take one of these and win an orienteering challenge on their first go, then it serves its purpose well.
