Wow, working just great! by Jeffrey
I tested the "Location Finder" today.

I pressed the button to set my current location (home).

After I walked around 700 meters to a restaurant,
through several streets right and left.

After finish eating, I pulled this device out and it showed me
the whole time the correct direction where I have to go.

After I came close around ten meters where I set it up,
it started to flash. So I must be close to my destination.

Exactly, 2 meters in front where I set it up, the cool blue LED
lighted up.

Final Destination :)
What a cool product!

Now I can bury my treasure somewhere and I will find my way back to it.
