I hereby confirm that I examined the "Jerusalem Compass," which was invented by Rav Moshe _____ Shlit"a, a Torah Scholar with fear of Heaven. This invention is designed to locate the correct direction towards Jerusalem at the time of prayer, and in particular, directed towards the holy site of the Beis HaMikdash. One may completely rely on this compass for such purpose.
I bless Rav ____ that he bring merit to Klall Yisroel, that they will be able to direct their prayers towards the holy site of the Beis HaMikdash, may it be rebuilt speedily in our days, amein.
Signed,

I too take part in endorsing this compass, which I also saw and examined. It is a fine device—mainly, that it points directly towards Eretz Yisroel, directly towards Jerusalem, directly towards the holy site of the Beis HaMikdash, directly towards the Holy of Holies—just as is taught in the Gemora. May our prayers be answered with Heavenly compassion.

The words above of the Rabbonim HaGeonim are clear. With the help of Heaven, this compass will strengthen the obligation to pray whilst one is directed towards the holy site of the Beis HaMikdash, in every aspect.
