Richard,
This is the one I have:

Theres lots of different ways it will mount - either flat or on the small raised plastic platform supplied (how I have it)- as its easy to level then - I also use it as a 'spirit level' to make sure the rover is fairly level for the roof tent.
The fact that it has a backlight and compensators was good and its not so large it takes over the whole dash.

To set it up I just lined the vehicle up with the cardinal points - from outside, using a hand bearing compass (standing a good 10 metres behind) then adjust the compensators till I get the most accurate reading at ALL points of the compass - it does take a while and you get some strange looks from the neighbors !!!
It is just a couple of degrees out at a few points around the compass - its been on the dash in sunlight in some very hot temperatures in Mali no problem - its oil filled and well damped and not too expensive.
- if you want I can email a photo no problem.
Cheers
Grif

Thanks Grif, think I'll invest!
