Boy scout special! Great little instrument, to guide you to an from your destination! Must have at great price, side by side comparison, accurate to a degree, with high dollar one!

Handy little compass that’s easy to read and just works

Perfect simple ‘Boy Scout’ compass. It has a great design with it mounted on an approx 1/8th inch thick clear plastic rectangle approx 4x6” (from memory)… which allows you the lay right on your map/ stretch and using the edges easily draw your compass bearing on your map. I’m an active ham radio enthusiast and a very popular fun event we do multiple times a year is called a ‘Fox Hunt. Not a real Fox… but one member volunteers to leave a Club breakfast early and go hide somewhere… usually within 4-5 miles away… (behind a school, town park, along a hiking trail, pretending to be fishing out on a public dock… or marina. club President does a countdown at the breakfast parking lot… and We’re Off! with our quirky simple homemade direction antennas… usually an a single loop of stiff copper wire (we call a ‘halo’ that when held up a bit (like a small dart board target)… when you slowly rotate your body holding the loop up a bit… their will be a a wide ‘arc’ area of good signal and a pretty narrow ‘null’ aka very weak signal… THATS THE DIRECTION OF THE ‘F0X! Using this compus all you do is lay it flat on you local map and drawl a line from your position in the determined FOX heading. Drive closer…but also deliberately pick your next stop location for next DF with intent for of some ‘right angle-mess’ so next reading will result in a ‘X’ marks the spot! … and repeat process from there if FOX not found…

Works as you would expect

This a very affordable and appears to be durable compass. I bought it for my daughter to take to Philmont for a trip she is taking to the mountains. The face of the compass is bright and very easy to see and even low light. The bezel moves easily and the green plate around the compass is nice for orienting a map.

Easy to read, multiple functions, high quality construction.

A very good basic compass to use with maps of all kinds. Or to just get your bearings in the field. It is simple and easy to use. There are many videos on YouTube that show you how to read and use a compass. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a good compass.

Unfortunately the dial gets lopsided and stuck and you have to move it around in order to free itself. Very basic compass and I should have known better with the price.

Good quality, great for hicking and teaching kids how to use a compass. Didn't break or leak.

I wanted a simple compass for travelling overseas and could not go past this one. It is clear, easy to read and strong enough to handle the knocks that are inevitable during travel. It is sturdy and very well made. I recommend this item highly.

Es un artículo que si bien no lo usas al tener gps u artefactos electrónicos es útil si no los tienes aunado a qué es útil en situación de supervivencia

Good quality for the price. Seems to be accurate

This compass is great using with a map as it is on a clear plastic that allows for exact directions while looking through at the map. It is compact , precise and a very useful tool to have on land or at sea. This compass is everything it is meant to be in a size small enough to hold in the palm of your hand , hang around your neck or stashed in a pocket. A vital tool that could save your life.
