A new wellness compass that records your "walk toward today's lucky direction" with a live GPS radar. "Happy Compass" calculates the best direction to walk today from your birth date and the current date, then tracks your progress toward it in real time on a GPS radar. Your position is plotted on a radar centered on your start point or home, so you can see at a glance whether you're heading the right way — and your achievement turns into points you collect. Built on the traditional wisdom of Nine Star Ki, reimagined to fit naturally into your daily walking routine. The walk itself is the real luck — even without a perfect reading, we just want to give you a reason to step outside and move. ■ Main Features - GPS Walk Radar: see your position and progress toward the lucky direction in real time.
