    This will never come out, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking at. It’s called PathQuest, and it’s a portable GPS device that’s shaped, yes, like a compass. How this isn’t a more popular concept—GPS devices shaped like a compass—I have no idea.

    Under the hood: an E Ink screen (to save battery life!) and future-perfect reliance on Google Maps. Nothing wrong with Google Maps.

    I don’t know, it look neat. That’s very when it comes to these concepts. Who wants to spend all day looking at an ugly concept?

    Not me, certainly.
