- Your compass has 3 graduations: - A 4cm-ruler - A 1:25,000 scale - A 1:50,000 scale These allow you to make measurements on your map and thus work on your scale reading
- When designing this compass, we opted for a large needle for a more accurate, intuitive visual alignment of the needle with the map's north lines.
- For added safety and peace of mind, the lanyard is equipped with a quick-release system.
- Inside the capsule, you find a declination scale. The magnetic declination is the difference in angle between the magnetic north and the true north on your map. You will find the value of this declination in your country on the Internet.
- The needle of this compass is universal. It can be used anywhere around the globe!
- Don't worry: 100% of Geonaute compasses are filled with viscous oil to guarantee their performance.
