Now you have to stop and ask yourself; did they point north or is it merely a gesture? If you had a reminder of which way was north you would know in an instant without getting out your compass or GPS. If you could see your magnetic direction reminder, you could stop your friend and ask if they meant north or direction indicated. (more…)
