TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass - Advanced Scout Compass for Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking - Best Survival Gifts for Kids

Almost as good as the old Silva compasses of my youth. Bezel is a bit stiff, but otherwise very good. Liquid filling steadies the needle nicely.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:it referenced Boy Scouts and this was a gift for my grandson.He was excited and is learning to use it.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, children were taught how to use a compass AND how to read maps. This is an attractive compass that does not come with instructions. Perhaps I have directional dyslexia, but I could not tell if the red or white arrow referenced the direction I was in (as I turned clockwise like a slow robot doing the two-step).🙃 Like many tools of this caliber, it takes a talented left-brain person to discern. That said, it would make a nice gift and I am happy with the purchase. After all, I'm sharp enough to figure it out, or to ask someone who can.😉

Item arrived quickly and works as promised.

Funciona bien aunque parezca de juguete es excelente el funcionamiento

Wonderful compass. Small and easy to use.

Great, just what my son and I needed.

I tested it out and I found that the compass is inaccurate. Usually about 15 to 25 degrees off where north really is.Also it needs a COMPLETELY flat surface to be somewhat functionally.Cool markings for maps but they are kinda pointless if the compass itself is inaccurate.
