What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This handheld device uses electronic compass sensors to announce your current direction out loud in either English or French when you press a button — no reading a dial required. It's designed for people who are blind or have low vision and need to orient themselves outdoors, while navigating unfamiliar areas, or during travel without relying on visual cues. The device reports eight compass points (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) and operates entirely on its own — point it, press the button, hear the direction. It runs on two 12V batteries that aren't included, and the audio output is a spoken announcement rather than a continuous read, so you'll need to press the button each time you want an update.
