Overview
A hiker or orienteer reading a paper map gets multiple scales printed for quick distance work on this Silva compass. It is plastic, comes with a lanyard and is described as adjustable.
The reason to look at it is the range of map scales, including USGS and GPS grids, for working directly on a topographic map. The limitation is that the description gives no sighting or declination detail.
Who it's for
Hikers, scouts and backcountry users who navigate on paper maps can use the scales and lanyard. Anyone wanting a precise sighting compass for surveying should look at models that list those features.
Pros and cons
- USGS scale included
- GPS scales on baseplate
- Sighting features unlisted
- Declination setting unstated
- Plastic baseplate only
- Dimensions look like package size
Performance notes
A baseplate compass works by aligning the needle with a printed north line, and the edge scales turn map distance into ground distance. Matching the compass scale to the map scale is what makes distance readings accurate.
