    Looking for ...

    I am looking for an inexpensive electronic gadget that will give me the following:

    (edit: ofcourse, i forgot to mention, that i need this for my car).
    1. temp inside
    2. temp outside
    3. compass directions
    i have yet to see anything that has all these three things at local store.

    hf has a temp inside + outside thing that is farely inexpensive, but they dont have a compass on it. i am looking for something that has these three things on it at the minimum.

    thanks for helping!

    Compass directions of what? Wind?
    We have a weather station from Honeywell that gives inside/outside temp, rainfall measure, wind velocity (velocity implies direction as well as speed), WWV time (from the atomic clock in Denver), UV level and barometric pressure. All the sensors connect via wireless radio. Cost was less than $200. Search weather stations on the web.

      OOOOOOOpppps, i forgot to mention the most important thing:

      i want to get it for the car.

      so the compass would be for direction of vehicle.

        something like this??

        I did a google search of

        temperature indoor outdoor compass auto

        actually this one looks better. no batteries. You can plug it in or if you are really good, you could hardwire it.

        If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

            A good excuse to buy a new car. My neighbor's Cad came with all that and the compass is built into the rear view mirror. The local KMart had an inside/outside thermometer for about $10 and a stick on compass runs under $20.
            Good luck.
