About this product
A compass that takes an accurate bearing, not just a rough direction.
A button compass tells you where north is. A sighting compass lets you aim at a distant landmark through the sight and read the exact bearing to it at the same moment, which is what map navigation actually requires. The difference shows over distance: a few degrees of error becomes hundreds of metres over a few kilometres.
The inclinometer is the second instrument. It reads the angle of a slope, which matters for judging a route, assessing avalanche or landslide ground, and estimating heights.
Zinc alloy body with a folding lid to protect the capsule.
Key Features
- Sighting mechanism for accurate bearings
- Built-in inclinometer for slope angle
- Zinc alloy body
- Folding protective lid
- Compact and portable
Who It Suits
- Map and compass navigation
- Hiking, trekking and bush travel
- Surveying a site or a route
- Anyone who wants a backup to a phone that does not need charging
Why carry one at all: a phone GPS fails when the battery dies, and it dies fastest in the cold and when it is searching for signal. A compass needs nothing, works everywhere, and does not care about network coverage.
