The compass is sturdy, but unfortunately it indicates the direction incorrectly – the deviation is about 10-20 degrees. If it worked precisely, it would be ideal. It also has a ruler, an element resembling a signal mirror, and a cover that protects the fixed needle.

Badger Outdoor Pointman Map Compass
A functional map compass, ideal for orienteering, mountain hiking or survival expeditions. Equipped with precise scales and practical accessories, it is an indispensable part of any outdoor equipment. Designed for both beginners and advanced users.
Fluorescent markings and magnifying glass
Thanks to the fluorescent markings, the compass can be used at night. The built-in magnifying glass allows for precise reading of details on the map, which is especially useful when planning complicated routes.
Rulers adapted to popular map scales
The compass is equipped with 2 rulers that make it easy to quickly determine distances on maps with different scales:
- 1:25,000 – suitable for detailed tourist maps,
- 1:50,000 – most common on topographic maps.
This makes it easy to plan a route and measure distances precisely. In addition, the sides of the compass body have rulers in centimetres and inches, making it even more versatile.
Robust design and safety
The casing is made of durable plastic, which guarantees resistance to mechanical damage while keeping the weight low. The lockable lid effectively protects the glass from scratches, and the compact size allows for convenient storage in a pocket or backpack. The set includes a safety cord that protects the compass from being lost during use.
