SharpSurvivalBest Camping Survival Compass Glow in The Dark Military Survival Gear Compass for Hiking Backpacking and Camping Plan and Determine The Route to a Destination

The seller's title called it the BEST compass, so I was expecting good quality, however it feels a little flimsy and cheaply made. For the price I guess it is about right. Other than that, it works fine and appears accurate. Enjoyed using it on a recent camping trip.

Needle is stuck and wont point to north, really cheap plastic. This product was designed to take your money not to show north.

A bit cheap

This compass arrived without damage and works as designed. Just a couple of instructional notes.1] The loop is not a handle. Do not hold or pull on it when trying to open the case.2] Opens easily if you hold by the bottom of the compass and lift the lid at the location of the offset. No, this is NOT a dent.3] Turn the outside dial to line up the N with the red N on the inside dial. Hold level and the needle will ALWAYS point North. Turn the whole compass so that the N's are lined up with the arrow. This is a compass and the other directions on the dial are then accurate. 4] Night use. Remember that the glow in the dark will only work if the open compass has been exposed to light previous to using in the dark. Align the outside dial as described in step 3.5] In the dark, you will see the outside dial, and the tip of the arrow. Also, the 2 glow in the dark spots on the inside face (no, they are NOT glue, plugs, or fuzzy spots) -they are glow-in-the-dark locators.6] Position the needle/arrow between the glowing dots and that is definitely north. Once you know North, you can determine all directions. If not, perhaps you should not be operating a compass or hiking in the woods.This compass was definitely accurate used in this way. Mine arrived in perfect condition, was easy to open, no unexplained dots, and worked at night.

Nice feel to it and so far it works in the house. With compasses, you need to take it around to really test effectiveness.Remember: when in a car, train, plane etc...anything with a engine, motor, electronics nearby, it will not give a correct result.It will always point toward whatever is producing the magnetic field, that is stronger than the Earth.
