Map Measuring Outdoor Navigation Path Analogue Map Measurer Distance Caculator Mapping Instrument Tool Gadget Trek Hike

doesn’t do miles which is annoying as previous review mentions, but 1:25000 scale appears to be quite accurate in km when map planning for walking.

It is rare for me to write a bad review but sadly I wasted my money buying this product. The wheel hardly turns when you move the map measurer and so it ends up cutting the map which is no good. The only plus is the detail on the dial but if the wheel does not move then you can't measure any distance.

Accurate and fairly easy to use

This product looks and feels good and arrived quicker than scheduled. BUT if you are needing accurate measurements to calculate distances to travel, this instrument will fall short by almost 20% so that if you think you are going to travel 80 miles from one point to another on the map, you will actually have to travel 100 miles, and this can cause a multitude of problems. And this fault is compounded by the fact that the wheel does not turn easily unless it is pressed hard onto the map and therefore it can skid causing very false measurement.

Does the job perfectlyI was a little apprehensive after some of the reviews I had read but it calculates the distance very easily on my OS explorer maps

Do not buy it is not accurate measures 11 inch when it should be 12 and that is when you have got the wheel to turn as it is too tight in the housing. pay more and get a recognised make.

Was as advertised

The product is just what I needed.
