UST Deluxe Map Compass with Raised Base Plate and Swivel Bezel for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking, Emergency and Outdoor Survival

Use it on forestry maps as I am direction challenged.

This compass was perfect for us to use at girls camp. The markings are clear and the face moves easily which makes it a breeze to figure out the components. The cord that came with it was simple to attach so you could wear it around your neck. We needed to buy several for our campers so the price was right. We needed 12 and for some reason they came from two different sellers, but both packages arrived within a few days of each other. They arrived fairly quick and were wrapped well. If you need a simple, but accurate compass, then I would recommend this product.

I bought 5 of these for an orienteering course for Boy Scouts. They all worked great, all read same directions from map to compass and compass to map. All boys found their way and learned how to navigate by map and compass. Would I buy this for life and death in the field? Probably not. But as a teaching tool they did excellent. I also used my U.S. Army issued compass as back up and it read the same as these so...

We bought these for a Cub Scout activity. I don't know if they'd stand up to daily wear and tear, but they survived a day of use with boys aged 5-11 and will be something we can save to use again in the future. We bought a Silva compass to compare. You can clearly tell the Silva is superior build quality but for an item that will very likely get damaged or lost due to small, rambunctious hands - these worked great.Compass quality was good, just as accurate in our use as the Silva. Mainly it was the build quality that prevents me from giving 5 stars. It's clearly targeted at people who need a bunch of affordable compasses. We ordered 5, they all worked great and were in pristine physical condition on receipt. I would not hesitate to suggest these to people who have a need similar to what I had.

We purchased these to teach a map course at a first time camping event. The compasses were well made, easy to use, and durable. The cost was great and the design simple enough that the kids picked up map skills with no problems.

Works great. Bought one for everyone in the Boy Scout Troop. We used them at Goshen this year. Great teaching tool.

No bevel clocks

The compass works great. (The needles point in the correct direction.) This is built just like the compass my father bought me when I started scouting. It's great to be able to overlay it on a map for navigation and with the magnifying area, my tired eyes catch a break when reading small-print on the map. I've taught a lot of orienteering over the years and these were for my two brand-new scout sons so I can teach them to navigate without a GPS.

Tiene buen tamaño, es fácil de usar y tiene medidas como regla en los laterales muy útil. Tiene una pequeña lupa, trae un cordón por si quieres colgarla.

The first one i got is bad. It pointed to any direction i wanted to. Amazon is so nice to send me a replacement that work perfectly. This compass is more accurate than my android cell phone. The proof is the northern star in the middle of the vortex as you can see in the attached image.

Yes it points to north . the luminous is a bit iffy but otherwise it does the the job . I use it and i haven't got lost yet.

The media could not be loaded. Muy buena brújula, hasta ahora no ha tenido errores, además me gusta que los puntos cardinales y la flecha tienen marcas que brillan en la oscuridad, así que es muy útil, ya que la utilizo para posicionar mi telescopio. Por el precio al que la compré, me parece una buena opción.

I bought a lot of these for a family reunion activity. They worked exactly like I expect compasses to work. They pointed north and had a fairly easy base to allow younger kids to establish direction without too much fuss. If I were to have any complaint, it would be that I found the needles very sensitive to any kind of interference. Walking by a metal shed would throw off the needle and you had to be careful to make sure it was pointing in the right direction before taking measurements. I expect this to some degree in all compasses, but found it quite pronounced here. For the price this was an excellent purchase and we plan on using them quite a bit into the foreseeable future.
