About this item
- Installation instructions, please watch the video on the detail page. (Note: You observe that the direction shown by the white dot is the direction of progress.)
- 1. First determine the correct direction outside the car, other reference compass should be separated from the ball compass by more than 20 inch.
- 2. Then find a suitable position in the car avoiding iron and magnetic objects so that the direction of the ball compass is the same as that outside the car.
- 3. Finally, tear off the double-sided tape to fix the ball compass.
- Features: shockproof, waterproof, accurate pointing
- Not all positions in the car are suitable for placing a compass, because all compasses cannot resist the interference of magnetic objects. Please find a suitable place in the car to place the compass.

Product Description
Ball compass reading method
Please check the schematic diagram. The reading method of ball compass is opposite to pointer compass.
The bubble in ball compass
It is normal if there is a bubble with diameter of 2 to 4mm in the ball compass.
As the temperature rises, the bubbles will be disappeared. The bubble is used to prevent the filling liquid from expanding and leaking as the temperature rises.
Note
The accuracy of the compass will be affected by magnetic or iron items. Please stick the double-sided sticker after finding a suitable place.

The KanPas “compass” that I received was, in point of fact, NOT a compass at all. Why? Because it proclaimed that I was *always* facing the same direction, no matter which direction I was actually facing. (The KanPas compass devoutly asserted that all directions would ever and always be SSE. Praise be to SSE. All glory to the eternal SSE. Thanks be to the almighty SSE. Amen.)
A compass has *one* very simple job to do, which is to detect and respond to the Earth’s natural magnetic fields and clearly display that reaction thereby providing the user with a consistent sense of direction. If it performs this simple job, we can rightly call it a “compass.”
Important Note: It is okay if the sense of direction provided by a compass is based on magnetic north rather than “true” north, so long as the compass consistently detects magnetic north.
The floaty ball object I received did not do this.
Executive Summary: The KanPas “compass” I received (by proclaiming ALL directions ever and always to be SSE) was not only an abject failure as a compass, it was, in actual fact, NOT a compass at all.
Because of its inability to perform the one simple job of a compass (to detect and respond to the Earth’s natural magnetic fields and clearly display this reaction, thereby providing the user with a consistent sense of direction) the KanPas object I was sent, although labeled a “compass” by the company, was not, in fact, a compass. It was a floaty ball thing that *looked like* compass. Thank you for reading.
Overall not very reliable
UPDATE: Summer in Indiana has melted some internal part of the compass. All the fluid inside of it leaked out all over the dashboard and created a slippery smelly mess. Definitely do not buy this junk.
