The StoneTurner67 Compass is an affordable compass with all the features you'd expect. Secure lanyard, magnifier, clear markings, liquid filled for a stable smooth needle. Ruler for measuring distances on the map, so you can work out how far you've gone, how far to go, and what time you'll be back for tea.
Even in the days of GPS, map reading is an essential skill for those who love getting outdoors. You can't map read properly without a compass, and once you have one, you discover it's an essential item in your hiking kit.
For novices and experienced walker alike, use a compass to:
- find where you are by triangulation.
- safely take, and walk a bearing.
- "aim off" to stay safe when walking in poor visibility
- Understand the Earth's magnetic field, and how it is changing.
