Overview
A trailhead, a campsite or a school field trip is where a compass this small gets used, with a lanyard that loops around the neck or wrist. The scale on the baseplate matches common topographic maps.
The reason to look at it is a light, simple compass that a young scout can learn on. The limitation is that it is not described beyond the basics, with no sighting features and no adjustable declination.
Who it's for
Children, scouts and casual hikers learning to read a map can use it. Experienced navigators who need sighting mirrors and declination settings should look at advanced models.
Pros and cons
- Light plastic body
- Common topographic map scale
- Aimed at beginners
- Sighting features not described
- Included items field garbled
- Short warranty period
- Plastic body only
Performance notes
A magnetic needle swings to north and the baseplate scale converts map distance to ground distance. The matching scale matters because a compass scale that differs from the map gives wrong measures.
