Just look at your street/neighborhood on Google maps. It's already laid out N^, W<, E>, Sv.

Yeah I know. Ofc it's at a weird angle. ALL the streets near me are at weird angles. LOL
I'm sitting down in a bowl. Take my word for it. For astronomical reasons... I needed a compass.
I researched for a week and a half. I ordered the one that was the best bang for the buck.

Plus... it has the Brunton U-Proof warranty.

And you'll love the BRUNTON U-PROOF Warranty: Buy it. Try it. Bust it. Return it. No questions asked!

And my keyboard tray mouse pad (10" x 30"), is arriving soon...

There's tons of better compasses out there... at a cost.

Well... just got my compass and my leather mouse pad.
The compass is great, but the 10" x 30" leather mouse (and keyboard), pad... is awesome.

Works perfectly for the mouse and the "heel" of my hand is ecstatic. Smooth as a baby's bottom.
Impossible to "overshoot" a target with the mouse on this surface.
I highly recommend this leather for all your mousing needs.

Amazon.com

6" x 6" up to 30" x 48"


Note: Surface is not as "quick" as say a nylon cloth surface would be.
The mouse will NOT move unless you move it, and will stop dead when you release it.
I imagine it will get a slight "glaze" from hand oils after a few months.

For those wanting a "faster" surface, I'm sure there's a leather treatment product that will give you that.

I just researched a bit. Leather company people recommend a tiny amount of leather conditioner, and then buff it till it shines. The buffing will work the conditioner into the leather and prevent it from leaving any residue on your mouse.

Personally, I "like" the bit of extra friction.

Well now that I got my compass, I can rest easy. Now I KNOW my street faces... NE by E¼E.

I wanted unabridged copies of Journey to the Center of the Earth and Mysterious Island.
They were hard to find, so I bought this. I got it Used - very good for $11.87
