Review: This is a really good map-reading compass and also useful for teaching bearings in GCSE maths - Context: I tutor GCSE maths students. Many of my students have difficulty with bearings and angles in general. This is a very well-made and easy-to-use compass. It is inexpensive and has very clear markings. The bezel turns smoothly. It is very easy to read since both the raised lip and the base have marks, so you can eliminate parallax errors. It is the perfect teaching aid. The compass needle agrees with my Silva map-reading compass to better than 2 degrees. So it's accurate enough for orienteering or rough map reading when you're out and about. Highly recommended.
Review: Great item - This is my back up, off to the mountains soon

**Q: Trying to check if my garden is north or south facing. Does the red finger point to the correct one? How do I do this?**
A: The red 'finger' should point North.  If you stand in your garden about midday, the Sun will be South of you approximately.

**Q: Is there a magnifier? That circle is it magnifier. If so magnifying to x how many**
A: Yes, there is a magnifier. 
Do not know the exact magnification, but I would guess it's about 1.5x, so not massive but good enough to be able to make small writing easier to see.

**Q: is compass liquid filled**
A: No.
