A word about quality and accuracy
5 out of 5 stars
A word about quality and accuracy
This is an accurate, well made compass. I have owned compasses for 50 years and teach map and compass and bush navigation. I was looking for new compasses for an upcoming class and decided to try this one. I put this compass through the wringer over the course of one weekend and was impressed more than I could have imagined. Very easy to read bearing at index line. Housing turns easily but not too easily. Baseplate seems to be made of same plastic and quality as any $100 compass. Accuracy was spot on. Not a negative but just so you know there is no declination scale inside the housing like a typical Silva would have. For declination adjustments either subtract or add the correction to the existing bearing or azmuith and move on. No marking for back bearing but that’s not a biggie either. Needle stabilizes very quickly and is obviously liquid dampened. Lanyard is crap so toss it out. I will be buying many more of these for teaching. Manufacturer seems to have put in a line at about the 10 degree mark as a visual reminder to correct for declination (either east or west). A thin straight line shows up on each one of these compasses. Does not effect use in any way and is purely cosmetic. For daytime use only. No glow in the dark marking’s. Just so you know, I own thousands of dollars worth of compasses and have the true “dirt time” to know better. This is a very good compass as far as I can tell. Only time will show if it develops a bubble which does not go away.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Coghlan's baseplate compasses are accurate and dependable.
    Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    For simple training and orienteering exercises Coghlan's fit the task. The price is fantastic. Because it is made in Taiwan the quality and reliabilty are superior to Chinese compasses in this price range. For urban or bush orienteering or backpacking or scout training, you cannot go wrong. It is an excellent back-up compass to the more expensive professional Silva and Suunto. Coghlan's baseplate models are accurate map compasses, not just glance and go pocket models. The Coghlan Deluxe Map Compasss and Standard model are both worth owning by the handfuls (price again). The Standard is small and convenient for pocket or survival kit. The Deluxe model is an excellent map tool with metric scales and parallax lines which are featured on the Silva Expedition 4 and when you learn their purpose you will always use them. The traditional bevelled leading edges have been blunted or squared-off making them less fragile and removing some of the mystery of why they were ever bevelled in the first place. I am an experienced orienteer and compass collector and I rate these models as seriously practical, robust and accurate instruments for classroom map and compass training, and long range land navigation.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t work in cold weather
    Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Not a bad compass for the price. However, at minus 5 deg. C, the dial experienced resistance to turning. At minus 10 C the dial was no longer able to turn. It’s a warm weather compass.
    Update: I have used the compass several times at below minus 10 deg. C and it has performed without problem. A bubble may form in very cold temps., that does not affect performance. The bubble leaves when the compass is warmed.
