The mirror compass does everything the baseplate compass does, and it lets you sight a bearing more exactly. Hold it at eye level, line the notch up with a distant hill or cairn, and read the needle in the mirror at the same time. When you take bearings to known points to work out where you are, that accuracy helps.
- 62 g, 10 × 6 cm folded
- Liquid-filled capsule, needle balanced for northern Europe
- Adjustable declination scale
- Romer scales for 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps
- Clinometer for estimating slope, luminous points
Care: keep it away from magnets and phones; close the lid to protect the mirror.
Honest limits: it is a little heavier and takes more practice. If you are new to navigation, start with the baseplate compass.
