Choose a compass by use

• Basic map compass: suitable for learning bearings, map orientation and straightforward hiking navigation.
• Orienteering compass: useful for route finding, map work and faster navigation where a clear baseplate and rotating bezel matter.
• Hiking compass: a more rugged option for outdoor trips where durability and visibility are important.
• Map case: helps keep a paper map or route notes protected and accessible in changing weather.

Features such as map scales, luminous markings, liquid damping and housing protection differ by model, so check the individual product specification before purchase.
