The GPS Compass
Some of the coolest designs are when new technology is used in an old design, here we have the GPS Compass from designer Andrea Schoellgen.
The GPS Compass features a digital display that looks like an normal compass, you basically enter the details of where you want to go into the compass, and instead of giving you turn by turn directions like a Sat Nav, the GPS Compass points north, south, east or west.



I think this is a great idea, it certainly would be fun to use, it is just a concept design at the moment, it would be really cool if a manufacturer picked up this idea.

Another totally useless device. Almost any standard GPS will do this by telling you which direction you are facing. And as far as giving directions, if you enter your destination, it will always point you in the correct direction. But it may not take into account things like buildings, mountains, etc. Or, if a sea, islands, reefs, continents, and so on.
