Excalibur talking compass keeps you pointed towards civilization

With portable GPS devices selling for peanuts these days, you might wonder why anyone would want an old school compass in their car. If you've even been off road however, you'll know that even the best GPS device has its limitations, and once you take your SUV off the beaten path you'll typically get no more than an arrow pointing the way back towards civilization.
The Excalibur talking digital compass will keep you pointed the right way as you drive in the outback, and it even has a built in thermometer so you can guage when heatstroke is about to set in while crossing Death Valley. Best of all, at about $25 it's a quarter the price of even the cheapest GPS.
