Excellent basic compass that has every necessary feature. As another reviewer noted, the base is symetrical, but it does have a pointing arrow -- so you shouldn't really have a problem with pointing it the correct direction. It does not have a sighting mirror, so if you feel that is a requirement, look elsewhere. Very steady needle, declination adjusment, and a greenish base, which you may appreciate if you drop it in the woods. If there was one thing I would change, though, it would be to have the 'direction of travel' arrow side of the base longer.Terrific price, too. It would be pretty cheap to buy a spare.
What can you say, a good basic compass. Seems to be made pretty well and it points north. Tally-Ho.
If you need something more advanced this may not be the stable platform for you. Great Value. But for beginning Boy Scouts. I got these for my 11 Year old Scouts. It's perfect for what we're doing, beginning orienteering. They eat up this compass. A rock solid beginner compass.
Basic compass but has all the markings needed. Works as promised. Happy with purchase.
It's small size and price (under $10). It has a tool free adjustable declination for easy navigating and gives you graduations in degrees. This `easy-to-read' compass is perfect for map and compass orienteering. makes for a simple, efficient compass when backpacking or hiking. The scale is in both inches and millimeters and the clear plastic makes for easy use on any map. Unfortunately, there is no site-mirror, which makes for a more accurate reading. It's a good beginner compass, but remember that you get what you pay for. For a little more money you can get a nice "Lensatic" military compass with a sighting-arm.
