Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from a basic compass?

This is an orienteering compass with a clear baseplate that lets you see your map through the compass base. The three scales, orienting lines, and marking holes are specifically designed for map navigation rather than just finding direction.

How accurate is the liquid-filled compass?

The liquid filling dampens needle oscillation, providing steady readings even when you're moving. This makes it more reliable than dry compasses for precise bearing work in the field.

What are the marking holes used for?

The marking holes let you place a pencil point through the compass to mark waypoints, plot bearings, or transfer coordinates directly onto your map while keeping the compass properly aligned.

Does this work with all map scales?

Yes, the three different scales on the baseplate accommodate various map types and scales commonly used in hiking and orienteering.

How do I care for this compass?

Keep the baseplate clean for clear map reading. Store in the included lanyard or a protective case. Avoid extreme temperatures that could affect the liquid filling.
