Number one - so small and and so poorly lighted that you cannot see it at all. You will not be able to use it in cars where the mirror is longer distance from the windshield that the cable of the compass. In my Honda Element you would need longer...

This compass works ok, however, I had to calibrate it 3 times already. The down size, it that it does not stay on all the time, so you literally have to push the button every 10 minutes and even though it comes with a back light, it is not bright...

It was cheap so I figured what they hey, bad idea. It only worked when it wanted to, showed the wrong direction most of the time, and being cheaply made, fell apart.
