【TANAX】Touring Compass 3 Review
For wanderlust and Navigation
What made you decide to buy?
→ Performance You want a directional magnet and it is a well-known manufacturer's product, Material:I bought it because it's a Aluminum base
How was your experience with it?
→Easily find direction when it's cloudy or there is no landmark nearby when Navigation is activated You can know that the Curve, which moves smoothly and is continuous even if you tilt the Motorcycle, can be used for a variety of purposes But it gives you the direction right away
Was it difficult to install? (In the case of hard parts)
→ easy possibility for double-sided tape
What is the point or hang of installation (for hard parts)?
→Double-sided tape only for simplicity, so degreasing and selection of installation locations are not necessary It's important If the rain and wind hit directly, it is likely to attack the following car the moment it strips off
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
→ functioning is also fine, no particulars as there are no problems after a fair amount of distance and days
Do you have any wishes or improvements you would like to make for the Manufacturer?
→ The color of the foundation. lime green and other demanded images
[Do you have any products to compare it to?
→SEWACar Compass:Constructed entirely of plastic, and the thin legs are badass No, it is for Vehicle and probably not safe to use for Motorcycles
[Others]
→Cowl If you have a car or someplace where you can avoid a direct hit from the rain and wind, you can use the weight you've charged There's no way you can keep it on and it might make the trip more fun

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.
