Other than the part where you'd have a battery strapped to you, this could be interesting to adapt to firefighting scenarios. If you could walk up to a structure and do a calibration so that instead of telling you which way North was it was calibrated to the direction of the face of the building (the "A-side" in most firefighting vocabs) then you could use the feedback from it when inside to know which side of the building you were facing despite being visually cut off and disoriented.

Most Canadians I know are used to hitting 'c' three times. It skips you past Cameroon and Cambodia and selects Canada. I suspect people from other countries behave similarly?
This totally breaks that expected behavior for me. Maybe it should, maybe "it's time" for that.
I suppose I can get similar behavior with this by typing "ada".
