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.

 Excellent gift for a new Scout! January 26, 2010
Cherelle (NJ United States)
This seems like a sturdy item, so we purchased it for our newest Boy Scout as part of his Christmas gift. It looks like just what he needs, and we anticipate many yeas of camping and hiking use from it. Will update our review as the item sees more use :o)
Nice but Enormous....can't be returned! December 23, 2009
Ken Hayes (Chicago, IL)
This is a very nice compass, but I bought it for my 7 year old daughter and it is just too big (about 3"x4"). There is nothing in the description about the size or the fact it contains hazardous chemicals. I tried to return it because I bought something smaller from Amazon and I was told I couldn't return it because it is a HAZMAT item. Shipping wasn't a problem on the way to me. After several calls and being transferred back and forth, I was finally given a credit and told to donate the compass to a worthwhile organization.

I just bought it to give my son a sense of how to use a compass while geo-caching and it was serviceable for that. You don't want to give a 10 year old something you really value afterall.

hi all
got Brunton Classic Compass a few months back.
a very decent basic compass for hiking and orienteering,...
the dial is clear, the needle stabilizes fast.
Only two things bothered me..i had a few friends having a Silva Polaris Base Plate Compass. right at where i need to read my heading ((((the directional arrow coinciding with the azimuth degrees on the rotating dial...they have a small white mark --- an extension of the directional arrow (index pointer) ...just below the transparent dial).)))
So if you want to head 140 degrees ON Brunton Classic Compass .you have to keep an eye on the dial and try to line it up to the directional arrow... you will face the same problem WHEN NOT having a sighting and signaling mirror....
if you want to Silva Polaris Base Plate Compass-- the small white mark just below the rotating dial will help you to keep your eye right on the degrees and to stop at 140 degrees the moment it coincides with the directional arrow
the other thing is : declination adjustment. i have to do it every time with Brunton Classic Compass....i did not see any adjustable declination. the product feature in amazon said ..adjustable declination.
i did not or could not locate any feature like that nor any screw driver type instrument to adjust for declination. i have to do the math in my head everything i wanted to go...i am a statistician and this did not bother me...but the product description on amazon should be changed
Excellent compass, and a good value January 4, 2009
M. A Oberly (Columbus, Ohio USA)
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.
