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.
