The compass is solid, but unfortunately points in the wrong direction – there's a difference of about 10-20 degrees. If it worked accurately, it would be perfect. It also comes with a ruler, something that resembles 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 outdoor equipment. Designed for both beginners and advanced users.
Fluorescent markings and magnifying glass
Thanks to fluorescent markings, the compass can be used in nighttime conditions. The built-in magnifying glass allows for accurate reading of map details, which is particularly useful when planning complex 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:
- 1:25000 – suitable for detailed tourist maps,
- 1:50000 – most common on topographic maps.
This solution allows you to easily plan your route and measure distances precisely. Additionally, the sides of the compass body have rulers in centimeters and inches, which increases its versatility.
Durable construction and protection
The housing made of durable plastic guarantees resistance to mechanical damage while keeping the weight low. The lockable cover effectively protects the glass from scratches, and the compact size allows convenient storage in a pocket or backpack. The set includes a security cable, which protects the compass from being lost during use.
