A clear baseplate compass with romer scales for 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps and a needle balanced for northern Europe. 32 g on a lanyard.
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.
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.
