 Compass Sep 03, 2010
Compass works great! I like all functions and easy to use. Mirror protects capsule when closed and needle works great even if compass is not perfectly level.

 Great, but could be perfect! Jun 01, 2010
The main reason I chose this compass over the much cheaper and equally as accurate Brunton 15TDCL is the global needle. Otherwise, the Brunton has everything else I want at half the cost at my local REI or $25 less on Amazon.
Global needle:
Great considering I will be traveling to the southern hemisphere, saving me from buying another compass just for that. The tracks really quickly and settles just as fast.
Other positives include:
1) The black lettering on white-glow background is easier to read
2) The mirror has a larger sighting hole at the base if that's how you sight.
3) Lower profile when closed
4) The reverse declination scale is intuitive and "out of the way" when viewing from above, yet works really well when using the clinometer and reading with the mirror and reversing the numbers again for easy reading.
5) Strong glow in the dark material.
6) This is big: made in Europe and not China.
Negatives (not necessarily compared to the Brunton):
1) Big square cover. Larger foot print because of the squared corners than the Brunton. The squared edges of the mirror cover are also less comfortable.
2) The scales on the baseplate either have inches and no centimeters, or 1:24000/1:62500, or 1:25000/1:50000. One could easily get rid of the 1:25000 or 1:50000 and replace it with 1:240000 since it is half.
3) The etching isn't very deep making it easy to chip off the paint from the baseplate. The logo and model number aren't even etched in.
4) Although this is extra, the snap release isn't very secure. The lanyard just barely hangs inside making it likely to come off when putting in a bag. Better to just loop the lanyard directly to the baseplate.
5) The magnifying glass could be larger to be useful as a firestarter too.
6) Price.

Compass with Everything Mar 04, 2010
This compass is worth every cent. It has smooth movement and every feature that I need to get accurate and precise readings.
Good, reliable compass Jan 02, 2010
Good, strong, well designed compass. It does everything it should do and is easy to read. The literature that came with it could be better.
