Easy to use, a solid compass available at an attractive price. It works great outside the city for setting a bearing, although just in case I always carry two compasses with me.

Badger Outdoor Compass with Ruler
An easy-to-use map compass, ideal for orienteering, mountain trekking and survival expeditions. With accurate scales and functional additions, it is an indispensable piece of equipment for every outdoor enthusiast. Suitable for both beginners and more advanced users.
Dual scale, magnifying glass
The device is equipped with a double scale, which facilitates orientation in the field in various conditions. The built-in magnifying glass helps to read details on maps, which is especially useful when planning more complicated routes.
Rulers for different map scales
Three different rulers allow you to calculate distances quickly and precisely depending on the map scale. They are adapted to the most common scales:
- 1:25000 – suitable for detailed tourist maps,
- 1:50000 – standard solution used in topographic maps,
- 1:63360 – a typical scale used in American orienteering competitions (1 inch on the map corresponds to 1 mile on the ground).
This solution allows you to quickly plan your route and accurately determine distances in the field.
Light and compact design with anti-loss feature
The compass is made of durable plastic, which makes it highly resistant to damage while keeping its weight low. Measuring approximately 12.5 x 6 cm and weighing only 41 g, it fits easily into any pocket or backpack.
The set includes a 49 cm long, brightly coloured cord to secure the compass, which is particularly useful in dynamic situations such as orienteering.

- intuitive operation
- lightweight design
- double graduation

Survival, bushcraft: Enables precise distance measurements on maps with different scales. The durable material is resistant to harsh environmental conditions.

In my opinion, this kind of compass is perfectly sufficient for an amateur. It allows you to set a bearing and work with a map. It’s not super precise, but it does its job, and it’s inexpensive, which is a big advantage these days.

A very decent compass, the needle works quickly and well; rotating the ring takes a bit of force, which is not a flaw. The product also has features not visible in the photos. It resembles a Silva compass but is much cheaper. Recommended for trips.

Quite a solid compass at an honest price. There are no faults to find with it, it works correctly. When working with a map over longer distances, it's worth considering getting a leash or tape with a scale.

A very good compass in this price category. It's not as precise, fast, or smooth as Silva or Suunto, but it costs much less. Great for learning how to use a compass and map, it can also serve as a backup device.
