ust Deluxe Map Compass with Raised Base Plate and Swivel Bezel for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking, Emergency and Outdoor Survival

I bought 5 of these for an orienteering course for Boy Scouts. They all worked great, all read same directions from map to compass and compass to map. All boys found their way and learned how to navigate by map and compass. Would I buy this for life and death in the field? Probably not. But as a teaching tool they did excellent. I also used my U.S. Army issued compass as back up and it read the same as these so...

This compass was perfect for us to use at girls camp. The markings are clear and the face moves easily which makes it a breeze to figure out the components. The cord that came with it was simple to attach so you could wear it around your neck. We needed to buy several for our campers so the price was right. We needed 12 and for some reason they came from two different sellers, but both packages arrived within a few days of each other. They arrived fairly quick and were wrapped well. If you need a simple, but accurate compass, then I would recommend this product.

We bought these for a Cub Scout activity. I don't know if they'd stand up to daily wear and tear, but they survived a day of use with boys aged 5-11 and will be something we can save to use again in the future. We bought a Silva compass to compare. You can clearly tell the Silva is superior build quality but for an item that will very likely get damaged or lost due to small, rambunctious hands - these worked great. Compass quality was good, just as accurate in our use as the Silva. Mainly it was the build quality that prevents me from giving 5 stars. It's clearly targeted at people who need a bunch of affordable compasses. We ordered 5, they all worked great and were in pristine physical condition on receipt. I would not hesitate to suggest these to people who have a need similar to what I had.

Use it on forestry maps as I am direction challenged.

The compass works great. (The needles point in the correct direction.) This is built just like the compass my father bought me when I started scouting. It's great to be able to overlay it on a map for navigation and with the magnifying area, my tired eyes catch a break when reading small-print on the map. I've taught a lot of orienteering over the years and these were for my two brand-new scout sons so I can teach them to navigate without a GPS.

This compass was ideal for teaching our grandchildren how to navigate. We did several activities inside and outside that involved using the compass rose. They practiced orienting themselves and finding objects using the compass. It is easy to read and sturdy.

Good and low cost, but not as good as silva. The black ring makes it hard to get the degree markings lined up with the directional arrow. The markings for lining up the north arrow are also a little vague. The basic silva costs nearly 2X this one, but it works better.

I am always getting lost and this was exactly what I needed to keep me on course. I have tried my own methods that I read on the internet, but sometimes using a compass is the smartest and safest method when dealing with land navigation. This compass points north and has a little ruler on it, how neat is that! That's pretty neat!

Sieht nicht aus wie auf dem Bild. Farbe passt nicht. Qualität nicht ausreichend.

Produto excelente e 100% funcional

Yes it points to north . the luminous is a bit iffy but otherwise it does the the job . I use it and i haven't got lost yet.

Buena calidad

This is your classic mapping compass. Yes, there's an app for all that, but I'm old school. No battery, shock resistant, drop resistant, water proof, dust proof, and I'm not going to cry if I lose a $9 compass. My phone, however, is another story.
