I could be wrong, but the title is very misleading. If you look at the images in the 3rd image you can read "Module on this side". So that leads me to believe that this is the breakout board only, no compass module on it, thus the low price.</p>

It is a very good price if it does the simple task of getting the xy plane orientation or offset from a point of reference.</p>

So if you, say, get a CP2102 board, an OS4000-T and this breakout, your pins <em>will</em> be switched (no easy "4-pin male header" wiring scheme, sadly). Frustrating, but that's life I suppose. I would've preferred it the other way around (much more elegant).</p>
