【TANAX】Touring Compass 3 Review
It's expensive.
I bought it because I wanted to be able to get a rough direction even when I wasn't on my phone Navigation. I don't have a problem with the functionality, but it's expensive compared to the thing. There are no other products like it, so I wonder if the price can't be helped?

No inconvenience without it, but more interesting with it.
Installed because I go Touring a lot.
If you have Navigation on your phone, etc., there may not be much need for it.
While driving, it is also interesting to visualize the map in your mind while checking the direction of travel.
Installation is easy with double-sided tape, but it depends on the location of the tape.
Note that the magnetism from the Motorcycle prevents accurate display.
1Display an accurate heading away from the Motorcycle
2Apply it to the place where you like it and where it does not affect the Motorcycle in the state of Engine.
By the way, in the case of my CUB125, the Meter area is Large sturdy.

Analog GPS..
I took a risk with this item as the only place to put it was on a non-magnetic metal instrument screen, and quite close to the instrumentation too. Unfortunately this does mean it does get occasional interference from magnetic fields on the bike. This isn't a big deal for me as I mainly just want to know which general direction my bike is travelling when in unfamiliar territory. If there was one thing this compass lacks, that would be a glow in the dark feature; which it doesn't have..hence it's useless when on the move at night. View detail

It looks good when attached to the back of the Screen. This type of product has been around for a long time, but with Navigation being used by the majority, it is an item that we do not want to see go away. View detail
I use it to locate where I can't get a signal.
I use this product to locate places where I can't get a signal, which is great because there are many places near camping areas and forest roads where I can't get a signal! View detail
In the end, you have to rely on Analog!
[How is it used?
I use the Compasses to easily check which direction I'm running in while driving, and when I'm touring in the summer relying on my phone's Navigation and it malfunctions on the Holder.
How was your experience with it?
It's the ultimate weapon for Analog alone, and it works fast.
[Points to note]
It is necessary to make sure that it is not affected by the magnetism of the surroundings at the time of installation by running the engine. I think that the place where it can be installed is considerably limited.
Point and hang of installation
Because the magnetic force is emitted from various devices, please put Engine on and stick it after confirming whether the influence of the magnetism of the surroundings is not emitted in the state that always runs sufficiently. Because it might encounter that it doesn't work unexpectedly while running.
