Suunto MC-2DLIN Compass

Q: You have two pictures of this compass shown. One is $57.65 and the other is $48.54. Both have the same product description. What is the difference?

As someone who just purchased the "Suunto MC-2G In Global Compass" according to this description, please note that as you compare the version colors. The $38.65 "Suunto MC-2G In Global Compass" (according to the product title) was actually a northern hemisphere only compass- not a global. The color called it, "NH USGS Mirror Compass" and the other color options included, "Black", "G Mirror Compass", and "USGS Mirror Compass" - all listed under the MC-2G title. So the sellers are probably selling the compass in the incorrect product title. Still a good deal if you're ok with a northern hemisphere model.

Q: Can I use the mirror as a signal mirror to call for help? Can I use it for shaving?

Yes on both. It will be a challenge for shaving since mirror is approx 2 3/8 in (l-r) x 2 11/16 in (t-b). If laying horizontal exchange measurements.

Q: Is this the metric version, or the inch and mile version?

The inch/mile version. It has one scale of 1:24,000 (one inch = 24,000 inches; about 2,000 ft.) and one scale of 1:62,500 (one inch = 62,500 inches; about one mile). It also has a third scale, 3" long, graduated in 1/20 of an inch. Excellent quality, but grossly overpriced IMHO.

Q: I am looking for the best compass you can get for your money and was wondering what you would recommend?

We took a class on orienteering before we bought our MC-2DLIN. We trained and used this compass. The instructor had recommended several GPS and other compasses to use. My limited experience with a compass made the class very interesting. We actually used this compass in the woods. I would say, as an amateur, that it is a very good compass for the money.
