The 'Columbus' is a hand-held device that verbally announces the major compass points of North, East, South and West, as well as the interim points of North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West. Measuring just 2.75 inches long by 2 inches wide by 1 inch high, and weighing less than 4 ounces, the 'Columbus' fits easily into the hand, and it announces the direction at a touch of a button. The 'Columbus' is bilingual, speaking in English or Spanish, at the flip of a switch. Requires 2 N batteries (not included).
