Overview
Suunto sells the A-10 as a compact, simple recreational hiking compass. It is made of plastic, carried on a lanyard and described as portable.
A familiar name and a small, simple design are the reasons to consider it for basic hiking navigation. The limitation is the missing detail on scales, bezel and dial.
Who it's for
Hikers and scouts learning basic navigation can carry a simple compass. Navigators who need a sighting mirror, declination adjustment or published scales should look at advanced models.
Pros and cons
- Compact and simple
- One year warranty
- Scale details missing
- Bezel and dial details missing
- Declination adjustment not mentioned
Performance notes
A magnetic needle aligns with the earth's field, and the user reads the heading from the dial. Simple compasses work well for basic bearings. The listing gives no needle damping or accuracy figures.
