Before you rely on it
Practise with a compass and a map on a known route before you need them, and keep the compass away from phones, magnets and metal while taking a bearing. Check a first aid kit before each trip and replace what has been used or is past its date.
Take a bearing on a landmark
- Sighting lens and wire: the lens folds up at the back and the wire sits in the cover's window.
- Dial: a degree scale with glow-in-the-dark markings for reading at dusk.
- Clinometer: measures the angle of a slope.
- Bubble level: helps you hold the compass flat for a steady reading.
- Ruler: a scale along the edge of the cover for measuring on the map.
- Lanyard: a cord to hang it round the neck or clip it to a pack.
It measures 8.5 x 5.3 x 3 cm closed and weighs about 185 g (supplier-stated). It handles splashes, not immersion. Keep it away from phones, magnets and steel when you take a bearing, and learn to use it with a map before you rely on it on a hill.

Frequently asked questions
Does the dial glow on its own? The markings glow after they have been in light for a while, then fade over the night.
