LYNQ SMART COMPASS

- http://lynqme.com

NOBODY likes to get lost, especially when in a foreign land where people speak a different language from yours.

Why not secure the personal safety of yourself and your family with the LynQ smart compass?

This is not your regular compass that you bring with you on your jungle trekking. This device can locate anyone without having to connect to an app on a smartphone. There is no monthly subscripti­on fee and you do not need to rely on networks or infrastruc­ture of any kind.

It works by using its compass-like display to show your relative distance and direction to another person who carries a LynQ.

With its one button user interface, it is easy to use. Setting it up takes mere seconds and you can pair up to 12 devices. All it takes is a simple click to move between the group members, where important details such as each user’s name, direction arrow and the number of feet/miles relative to your location will be shown.

The backlit, sunlight readable display makes it easy to view at all times, and you can even choose to set boundaries for the group.

Having boundaries is useful for those with small children, as it will send sound, optical and vibration alerts when it detects that someone else with the LynQ leaves a boundary.

The LynQ smart compass can also set a “home base” as an anchor, allowing everyone to find each other.

Measuring a diminutive 4-inch x 2-inch x 1-inch while tipping the scales at a mere 73g, it is military-tested to withstand any climate or situation courtesy of its weatherpro­of and waterproof durability design.

It comes with a rugged carabiner clip, allowing you to snap it onto clothing or gear, or simply slip it into a pocket, pack or pouch. Priced at US$174 (RM704) for a pack of two, it is worth every sen.
