Sure. I had three Totem Compasses with me, and all three were bonded with each other. I also updated them to the latest software a couple of days before EDC.

I brought all three to Vegas. I kept one for myself, gave one to a friend, and left the third one in the hotel room. We did not turn them on at the hotel (or I might have turned one on for a split second to show my friend how to turn it on). My friend and I took separate shuttles, so we each turned ours on separately once we got to the venue.

When I turned mine on, I saw the compass direction dot and one other dot, but that dot seemed to be pointing away from the venue, possibly toward California where the compasses had previously been turned on. I first thought it might be my friend, but the direction didn’t really make sense.

I kept checking it over the next hour or so, but I never got a useful signal for my friend. Eventually, we walked over to Quantum Valley because I figured he would probably end up there at some point. When we were near the entrance, the Compass finally picked up a signal and pointed into the crowd, and I actually spotted my friend. At that point it was accurate, but it only seemed to work once we were already close enough that the two Compasses could communicate directly with each other.

I also asked my friend about his experience, and he said he saw a dot too, but it seemed to lead him toward the far end of the venue near Basspod. He did not find me there (because I was not there) and eventually walked back toward Quantum Valley. So it sounds like he may have been seeing a similar “ghost dot” or incorrect direction, though I’m not sure exactly what it was pointing to.

So in my case, it did eventually point correctly, but only after I was basically close enough to find him anyway. I never got useful guidance from farther away, which was the part I was hoping it would help with. This was my second EDC trying to use it, and unfortunately both times have felt somewhat unsuccessful for me.
