Silva Expedition map compass. In my opinion, it looks great and will probably perform just as well in use; it is compact, and there will always be a place for it, whether in a pocket or around the neck.

Silva Expedition Map Compass - 37448
The advanced Expedition map compass by Silva, designed in Sweden, was created for demanding users seeking a precise and versatile tool for field navigation.
photoluminescent signs on a rotating dial
Equipped with photoluminescent markings on the rotating bezel, needle, and transparent baseplate, it greatly facilitates data reading in low-light conditions. This model also includes a magnifying glass, rulers measuring 90 mm and 1.8 inches, a pendulum clinometer, and a flexible lanyard with scales of 1:25,000 and 1:50,000.

This compass really stands out. Compared to cheaper models, the needle finds north very quickly – I was positively surprised. The dial is very precise and can be operated easily even with gloves. The slight resistance when turning is a big plus. All the features that improve working with maps have been perfectly refined.

All my map compasses are Silva products and I knew this model would be the biggest. It's never let me down. All the elements on the ruler are essential for quick use of the map. The original scale on the lanyard is also a plus.

This is probably one of the best Silva compasses. Often, more expensive models with many features do not perform well, but this one works brilliantly when working with maps and in orienteering. It is solid and precise. I definitely recommend it.

I've been using it for three years and it hasn't let me down once. Very precise, exceptionally comfortable and simple to use. A definite plus is the illustrations that help you quickly orient yourself on the map, regardless of whether you have MGRS or UTM divisions. Light and easy to carry – there’s always room for it in your pocket. The scale on the lanyard is also a useful option, as it lets you quickly estimate distances. Although it's more expensive, I think the quality is worth the price. It's worth it!

At this price, you won't find a better compass; even more expensive models or products from other brands don't match its quality. It determines north very quickly and accurately – you don’t have to wait long for the needle to stabilise as with other compasses. Additionally, the side ruler makes map work easier.

This compass is a true masterpiece, I recommend it to anyone seriously thinking about covering long distances. Then such equipment is simply indispensable.

This is a top-of-the-range compass. The price reflects the quality. The compass is very sensitive and excellent for working with a map. Very clear and easy to read. The rubber feet prevent it from sliding on the map case or film.

It hasn't yet had a chance to be tested during an expedition, but compared to my other compasses (including one for diving), it shows the right direction. Very good quality product. I recommend both the compass and the shop.
