there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

This compass uses traditional large compass lead, and will not accept mechanical pencil lead. However, this compass comes with an attachment to hold a separate pen or pencil, in addition to the standard lead holder.

The model I bought says (on the face of the device) GPSmap 78s. This model has a built-in barometer (displays altitude or pressure) and a 3 axis flux gate compass. When you are stationary, the device shows the direction the GPS is pointing. When moving, the display shows the direction of the track and that reading does not change when you change the direction the GPS is pointing.

No, nothing should need to be added. You must have gotten a defective compass.

You may be referring to the ETX90 UHTC PE edition. That one come with LNT, making aligning the scope even simpler. It finds North all by itself.

If you look underneath the title of the compass, it states...by BestDealUSA It is a very nice compass, and is well made. My grandson loves it.

Yes, mine came with one. For the other responder, the universal adapter is used to hold a pen or pencil for marking rather than the lead piece normally used on the compass.

You have a magnetic dampened compass it does not require liquid to operate properly. Open the cover on the compass and pull the rear sight up. When the rear sight is in the down position itlocks the floating dial in place. If this information does not help you send the compass back for replacement or refund.

Magnets are no good for compasses not gps. GPS uses satalites which has no nothing to do with magnetic north.

Yes, but always bring a regular compass and learn how to use it. Electronic compasses need batteries!

Yes the Garmion 880. And it works very well compared to other high end Navs that I've played with in my opinion.

This is the standard version that has no quick disconnect, but it does come with a compass as stated in the description.

I have not seen compass headings appear in the photo software I use (Adobe Lightroom and Picasa) and I do not see how the system would know compass heading unless you also had a compass or were continuously moving. However, best to check with technical support at the manufacturer (www.promotesystems.com). I have found them to be responsive and helpful. Position information is quite accurate and I have not seen excessive battery drain - works well for me.

This particular option is as it's pictured without the compass and does not come with it. The compass option is 499

The Compass comes with a good quality nylon pouch that secures with a snap. There is a sturdy strip of heavy nylon on the backside of the pouch to allow it to be secured to web gear with either Alice or Molle type clips. The compass also comes with a nylon lanyard of good quality to allow it to be carried around your neck if desired. This is a well made compass and worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps.
