Why is this called a new type of compass, while its the same compass with an additional component. I have no interest in compasses and but looking at the video, its so simple it should already exist.

Because it's not a fluid filled compass and it's not one that has a disk blocking the map, or any other existing compass. What would you consider it? And yeah most the of the best inventions are that way. Imagine somebody had to invent a wheel. So simple it should already exist

  • well, it doesn't work as he described, there is cut in the middle where the needle is stopped offscreen

    • knock it off. make the observation about the edit and suspicion. do not say it doesn't work

      yes, everyone in this thread knows there is a mysterious edit and many are suspicious

What else do you call a compass that uses a different mechanism to achieve a new feature? Weird thing to be upset about?
