It is official. I have seen everything. Thing points to Mecca  |
They call geiger counters compasses? |
I'm betting that's a fake - considering compasses only point North/South . However there was a handheld device (like a PDA) where you enter your location and it will tell you what angle on your compass is the direction for Mecca. This was 10 years ago, I'll bet by now they've added GPS so you don't need to enter your location and a compass isn't needed. |

Link to err..Mecca...no...Silva? Actually, it comes with a guide so you can find Mecca. Perhaps new issue for B-1 pilots? No mention of a NSN though. |
don't think it does, its a normal compass "A compass that shows the direction to Mecca. Thanks to its built-in orientation to Mecca guide, it is always easy to find the correct direction, no matter where your customers are in the world. Black. Print on the back, Ø34 mm or inside the compass housing." |
