Who is ordering the compass?

[emax]

IWC? Made in Tunisia?

 

[Krabby]

I hope someone makes something great for that slot. A wonky altimeter and compass combo could certainly be bettered.

Doesn't anyone care that the altimeter they paid a few hundred dollars for doesn't work right?

TBH, no

Would be happy if I could even read it! Definitely not worth the money. I should have bought an aftermarket clock.

Only the dial is from IWC. When my wife drove with Ineos from Huesca to Hambach a former MB G employee told her that.

AWo

I fully agree, not easy to read…..

I agree, in the 3 months I've had the Grenadier I've never been able to read it. I put it down to my eyes , I wear long range glasses for driving but for close reading I have to change to short range reading glasses . The altitude is displayed on the touch screen anyway, which i can see, and in the a compass is hardly necessary. I didn't order it, it is standard in the Fieldmaster

As it happens the software update fixed ours today. And I used my wife to take readings.
If I ever get lost , she will be with me. And I will have packed a proper map!

Isn't that what the "Pathfinder" function is for? But I'd take a map...just in case of a very very rare software failure

 

[emax]

That's reassuring.

An IWC made in Tunisia - the planet would stop turning.

That sounds far too complicated.
But yes , a real map and a real compass, says me as always with a backup for the backup .
In case the vehicle catches fire.

Wouldn't a digital gage like this on be a better use of that space, especially given so many people have reported battery charging issues

Dual Voltage 52mm Gauge with optional current display

The REDARC Dual Voltage 2-1/16” Gauge monitors battery systems mounted in 4WDs, campers, caravans, and motor homes, allowing you to see the charging performance of both your main and auxiliary battery.

Software failure or catching fire ....er now what are the chances of either in a Grenadier

Snap, the same issue with glasses!

Are we going to open up a Desert recon group

I have a few of these, Howard Mk.2 and Abrams (pictured).

Great. I like technology like this from times gone by.

Me too, old tech is just cool. I always made sure the Scouts in my sons’ Troop really knew how to use a compass.

Nowadays, many people need their iphone to find their way. If they are looking for it at all.
