A pretty decent compass that works great when using a map. The magnifier is very helpful, and the fluorescent markings on the compass dial remain clearly visible after dark. Overall, it’s really solid equipment and I have no complaints about it.
The map compass features a luminescent dial, so you can use it both during the day and at night. It is made of durable and damage-resistant ABS plastic and acrylic.
A ruler, two scales are applied to the transparent base: 1:25000 and 1:50000, auxiliary lines and a magnifying glass, which significantly improves the accuracy of map reading. In addition, it is equipped with a lanyard to prevent loss.

This is a very good compass that fully does its job. It has an easy-to-read scale, and the bright color of the lanyard makes it easy to find if it accidentally falls. Most importantly, however, it points north correctly.

After three months of use, the compass works great – it is precise. The ring with the circle rotates with slight resistance and does not move on its own, which I consider a big plus; the scale is clear and easy to read. The magnifying glass makes navigation easier. As for the luminescent dial, its illumination is rather weak and using the compass in the dark is impossible. The plastic is solidly made – it does not scratch or crack when dropped. Overall, I am very satisfied with this compass.
