A phone tells you where you are until the battery or the signal runs out. A map and compass keep working. This is a simple, clear compass of the kind used in most navigation courses, and it is all you need to take a bearing and follow it.

  • 32 g with lanyard, 10 × 6 cm
  • Liquid-filled capsule, needle balanced for northern Europe
  • Romer scales for 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps, a mm ruler and inch scale
  • Magnifier, luminous points for low light

Care: keep it away from magnets, phones and speakers, which can disturb the needle. A small bubble in the capsule is normal and does not affect it.

Honest limits: a compass is only useful if you practise with it. Try it on a walk you know before you rely on it in mist.
