Never get lost again! A product for ALL sailors and explorers!

N+K proudly present the Navigator's Kit, including a Compass, Sextant and table of the Declination of the Midday Sun. Both the Compass and the Sextant are wearable and working - for the Compass this means it will give you directions as any real world compass would (with respect to SL north), while the Sextant will give you both your location in SL-coordinates as well as a declination (of the sun)-readout, which together with the declination of the midday sun table will allow you to make concrete navigational calculations of your position.

This Kit includes:

Wearable (handheld) Compass:
- just add and it will attach to your left hand.
- its default state is open, with an appropriate pose.
- clicking it will close the lid and deactivate the pose, so you can carry it around.
- clicking it again will open the lid and activate the pose again, so you can look at it and get your bearings.
- the compass gives you SL bearings, no matter where you are. You can use it anywhere, whether traveling land, air or sea. Checking it is particularly effective in mouselook but can be used in regular view settings as well.
- the animation is priority 6 and so should override your AO or sit poses unless they are also priority 6, of course. There is a little bento animation in the pose, but you may be able to deactivate it in your body's menu, if you so wish.

Rezzable Compass:
- this version has no pose included. It was conceived to be rezzed wherever you are allowed to, on whatever surface. You can place it on a table or add it to a vehicle, if the vehicle's mod rights allow you to do so.
- its LI is 3.
- its default state is lid open, and by clicking it, you can close the lid.
- it will give you bearings, according to where you rez it; whether vehicle or static.
- if you wish to use this as an attachable with your own pose, you can. Just make sure to adjust how it sits in your hand (or chosen attachment point).

Wearable (handheld) Sextant:
- just add and it will attach to your hands, and activate the measuring pose.
- the animation is priority 6 and so should override your AO or sit poses unless they are also priority 6, of course.
- clicking it will give you the measurement readout, including SL-coordinates, the sim you are currently in and the declination of the sun, no matter where you are. You can use it anywhere, whether traveling land, air or sea.

Be aware that real-life celestial navigation using a sextant is a complex and lengthy process that involves a fair amount of calculating, correcting, referring to tables, knowledge of the heavens and the Earth, as well as a lot of common sense. You can use the declination of the (midday) sun readout, together with the included table (Declination of the Midday Sun), to attempt finding your position in terms of latitude and longitude. Keep in mind that the world of SL is not as big as the real world, and the sun position does not change with seasons, and depends on your windlight sky settings, so your calculations might still yield 'funny' results. On the other hand, being a dedicated sailor/explorer, you can now explore the vagaries of ancient navigation if you want.
