I have been pricing these lately, and they sell one for Northern and one for Southern hemi. They must know more than I do about this, so I figure there is a good reason for it. Maybe it is just the deviation factor that is different and they build some of it into the compass. I think Colin mentioned that.

Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would think the south pole of the magnet on the compass card would suddenly point south because you crossed the Equator. That would require the south pole of the magnet on the compass card to suddenly change polarity. I do not see how that is possible. If my reasoning is wrong, please set me straight and prove it.
