Baseplate Compass

Description

Engineered for foolproof backcountry navigation, the Baseplate Compass provides precise, battery-free orientation when digital devices fail. Constructed from high-impact, scratch-resistant acrylic, it features a clear baseplate equipped with integrated millimeter and inch scales, alongside 1:24,000 and 1:50,000 map measuring lines for rapid distance plotting. The liquid-filled capsule houses a fast-settling, high-grade steel magnetic needle that operates smoothly without freezing or bubbling, encircled by a 360-degree rotating bezel with high-contrast, luminous markings for low-light or night navigation. Complete with a built-in magnifying lens for reading fine topographic detail, a fixed declination correction scale, and a detachable neck lanyard, this essential tool delivers accurate bearings and reliable map-reading performance in any environment.
