Feature Details
This classic, analog compass provides all the information that got explorers around perfectly well for hundreds of years, in a snappy, optic green package. It features 2-degree graduations (the series of degree markings on the azimuth ring used for taking bearings) and adjustable declination (the difference in degrees between magnetic north--the direction the magnetic needle on a compass points--and true or geographical north, which is the direction maps are printed toward. It also features 0-35 degree inclination scale (the distance between two points on a map as they relate to the distance between those two points on the earth) and displays this in both inches and millimeters.

Customer Review: buy it!!!

Wow i really like this compass, the price, light weight and is so accurate.Customer Review: Compass dead on target
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The Brunton Classic Compass is a good choice for the price. It delivers everything that you'd expect from a maptop compass... plastic base, bearings marked around the housing, easily rotating needle color coded for north and south, it even has a place for a lanyard or string to be attached.
The size is just about right for either a shirt breast pocket or to be carried in the hand in the field. The adjustment for declination and graduated measurements along the edge make it a most versitle tool.
In short, I am very pleased with this unit, and will recommend it to my students in the upcoming compass orienting and map reading class I am about to teach next month.
You could do a lot worse by buying a cheaply made compass. This one works well for the right price. Thank you Amazon.
Customer Review: Confusing but it works.

I really thought that a compass would point at the letter representing the direction that I was facing. I was mistaken. It's a little more complicated than that. I called the company and a very nice guy named Mark carefully explained how to use this compass. It was not as I had imagined. But it does indeed work. Just yesterday I needed to find my way home from Long Beach. I remembered my tutoring from Mark and figured out which direction I needed to go. But I wish I had the simpler kind that just automatically points to the direction on the compass that I am headed in. Ignore this evaluation if you already know how to use a compass. The problem must surely exist between the hand and the user.Customer Review: Excellent compass, and a good value
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Excellent basic compass that has every necessary feature. It does not have a sighting mirror, so if you feel that is a requirement, look elsewhere. Very steady needle, declination adjusment, and a greenish base, which you may appreciate if you drop it in the woods. As another reviewer noted, the base is symetrical, but it does have a pointing arrow -- so you shouldn't really have a problem with pointing it the correct direction. If there was one thing I would change, though, it would be to have the 'direction of travel' arrow side of the base longer.
Terrific price, too. It would be pretty cheap to buy a spare.

This an excellent, inexpensive compass which I use in the car for navigating. I understand that one needs a sighting mirror for serious work, but I just use it in the car. It has good visibility, is lightweight, accurate, and best of all, doesn't cost that much. It's cheap enough so that if I lose it, I can buy another one, and it's more than accurate enough for my needs. I like the green baseplate, which allows me to find it in low light if I drop it. The needle is quite responsive, and you don't have to jiggle the case to get it to move as in many cheap compasses. All in all a good, decent quality, inexpensive compass.
