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

Badger Outdoor Compass with Ruler
A user-friendly mapping compass, perfect for orienteering, mountain hiking, and survival journeys. Featuring precise scales and practical enhancements, it is an essential tool for any outdoor enthusiast. Designed for both novice and experienced users.
Dual scale, magnifying glass
The device is equipped with a dual 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 adapted to different map scales
Three distinct rulers enable rapid and precise distance calculations tailored to various map scales. Designed for popular scales:
- 1:25000 – ideal for detailed tourist maps,
- 1:50000 – the standard configuration used in topographic maps,
- 1:63360 – a common scale for orienteering in the US (1 inch on the map equates to 1 mile on the ground).
Such a solution helps you quickly map out your route and precisely measure distances in the field.
Lightweight and compact design with security against loss
The compass is made of durable plastic, which makes it highly resistant to damage and lightweight at the same time. With dimensions of approx. 12.5 x 6 cm and a weight of only 41 g, it fits easily into any pocket or backpack.
The set includes a 49 cm long, brightly colored cord to prevent the compass from getting lost - especially useful in dynamic situations such as orienteering.

In my opinion, such a compass is more than enough for an amateur. It allows you to determine the azimuth and work with a map. It's not super precise, but it gets the job done, and it's inexpensive, which is a big advantage these days.

A pretty decent compass, the needle works quickly and well; turning the ring requires a bit of force, which isn't a flaw. The product also has features not shown in the photos. It resembles a Silva compass but is much cheaper. I recommend it for trips.
