A Dedicated Compass That Points Only to the Nearest Taco Bell
A handheld compass has been built to point exclusively toward the nearest Taco Bell. It uses GPS for location and heading data to point toward the destination while counting down the remaining walking distance as the user gets closer. The project was created by hardware maker Tru Narla.
Narla made it as a gift for her Taco Bell-loving fiancé. The prototype still needs calibration work at startup, and she plans to take it outside to see whether it can actually guide her all the way to a restaurant.
A compass can point anywhere, so this one removes almost every possible direction and keeps only Taco Bell. It is less about finding your way than eliminating every destination except tacos.
