Wierd Magnetic Fields?

the yellow digital one with the 2 rubber

driving in a circle and it compensates for

The digital is far less affected by it.

Here's an update... Bought the digital from sears. Originally placed it near the left side of the windshield, at the edge. It had very similar problems to the analog.

Placed it in the center of the Windshield, so it is visible just below the rear-view mirror, calibarated it, and it is perfect. The analog in this position still showed ENE at all times.

So, now, I am a happy camper... ;-)

Thanks, everyone, for your input.

I've spent a lot of bux over the last

5-10 years and my wife always laughs at my quest for a working car compass. Now finally my quest has been fulfilled LoL. Have Fun... RickaTTic

Not so weird problem. I would guess there is two speakers in the dash(one on each side) and maybe one in the middle. Speakers have magnets .need I say more
