A classic compass - an essential tool for survival in the wild and in the mountains. Together with a map, it helps with proper navigation and orientation in the terrain. On the rounded base of the compass, you will find a rotating compass dial with luminescent points indicating the cardinal directions: North - N, South - S, East - E, and West - W, and meridian lines. Luminescent (glowing) points make it easier to work in the dark. The balanced metal compass needle in a liquid capsule (red arrow) points to the Earth's magnetic north pole. The base plate also includes a magnifying lens, holes for drawing checkpoints, and a scale in millimeters. A yellow lanyard for hanging around your neck is included.
