Coghlan's Compass – Trail, Lightweight Navigation Tool for Hiking, Camping, Survival & Orienteering

Finally a good compass. Great for the money and it works well !!

Durable and accurate.

There's no doubt, this is a good compass. It's not for orienteering but for finding your direction. It is sturdy and easy to read. My only complaint is that the dimensions are listed as 1" x 1" x 1". Double that, and it's correct. Actually, from top to bottom is 2 and a half inches. I wanted this as an EDC item for a belt hook. It is much too big for that. I'll keep it in my grab-and-go bag with a Coleman compass I already have. You could hook it on a jacket, but again, it's a pretty big compass for that. It would be better to hook to a back pack. There's no cover, but that's no concern of mine. I wanted something smaller, but it's still a good compass.

I'm surprised for the price these work. I keep one dangling from my purse while traveling. Sometimes it's easy to get turned around while walking around unfamiliar towns and this compass can keep you on track.UPDATE:. Been using this compass regularly for my current trip while walking/hiking around Nepal and Turkey. Really works. Better constructed than the cheaper version with the whistle (I've also owned). Purchased mind at Walmart though. Noticed that now Amazon lowered their price.

It doesn’t work accurately. Keeps saying it is West when it is actually East. Gets north and south right but flips the west and east readings. Worthless

NOT A SURVIVAL TOOL!!!! That said, good for general direction. For me that's all I need. I get instructions like: " west of Elm street" this is good enough for this sort of needs. Might also be good for Cub scouts, and basic learning. On to it's physical attributes: light, has a descent clip, that I use to attach to my jacket zipper. It has taken a few bumps and hits and been no worse for it, so fairly tough. The dial is pretty easy to read, and I wear glasses, so probably good for most.

I bought multiple compasses from this brand. This brand's compasses are dependable and accurate.

It's a small quantity magnetic compass

Une boussole qui ne donne pas toujours le nord dans la même direction !(Boussole posée à plat -sinon l'aiguille est bloquée par le verre, ce qui, de plus, la rend difficilement utilisable posée dans le creux de la main- et, évidemment, loin de tout champ magnétique.)Donc éviter de se reposer sur elle et de partir en terre inconnue. Vous risquez fort alors d'errer longuement.

So far so goodممتازه

La compramos para una tarea escolar y cumplió para lo que se necesito, gracias por la entrega tan rápida!!!

Works Great....purchased for single track riding in the Forests

This works great. It's been dropped many times and still works. For those saying that it is not accurate, if you are using streets or your city layout as a reference point, keep in mind that many streets do not run in a true compass direction even though they may be called "Main Street West", etc. My husband who is a land development engineer told me the streets in our city are actually 18 degrees or something off of true north. So the compass might actually be more accurate than people realize.
