This solar compass is more accurate than most the maps that are printed today. It is more accurate than many of the tools used today to measure the angles on the maps that we have today.
It doesn't have a bouncing needle balanced on top of another needle. Its direction is instantaneous once it is level, and the azimuth is set. It isn't affected by the metal objects in the area that the magnetic compass tries to point to. It gives a true heading or bearing, unlike the magnetic bearing given by the magnetic compass, which then has to be converted to a true bearing. You can use it while traveling whether walking, riding a bike, or in a vehicle. And you can make the solar compass out of any material that you can print the degrees on.
