The Map Compass from Tracpac is a flat-based, liquid-filled map compass, designed for basic orienteering and map-reading needs. The compass includes everything you will need to successfully navigate whilst out in the open countryside. The compass is designed to give accurate readings that are easy to obtain. It is ideal for anyone thinking of going on a weekend expedition or even just a day trip.
Steady Liquid Filled Compass
As the compass is liquid filled, it causes the needle to stop quickly due to its viscosity, rather than oscillate around the magnetic north. This gives a much steadier and accurate reading, and is also quicker and easier to use. The rotating bezel gives measurements in degrees, and allows you to navigate easily with reference to a map.
Accurate Measurement
The base of the compass includes measuring scales at on 2 sides for measuring at ratios of 1:50k and 1:25K. This allows for accurate measurement of distances, and thus enables better time management during your expedition. The compass includes luminous points on the bevel and needle, allowing you to use the compass at night or during poor lighting conditions.
The Tracpac Map Compass is an excellent accessory for your outdoor adventure, and will help you keep your direction, and safely navigate to your destination.
