Your cart is empty.If you are in need of a traditional baseplate compass with high-end features, the Explorer Pro should be your choice. The compass comes with a slope card and a distance lanyard. The slope card is great both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. The distance lanyard has four scales on it; 1:24k, 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:62.5, which facilitates to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place it directly on to your route on the map Explorer Pro features DryFlex grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k, 1:24k USGS scale and GPS scales. The baseplate has a curved-up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand, magnifying lens and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier - when activated in light the luminous markings enable night time navigation. The red/black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.

Standing in the middle of Jells Park, with the compass perfectly levelled, when I turned, the red needle turned with me. It jerks back a bit then rested on different directions on every try.

Si vous savez utiliser cette boussole, elle vous servira en rendonnée. Très utilse par exemple en rendonnés de montagnes sans guide.

Great compass and very easy to use but has a couple of issues which I am sure the manufacturer could easily rectify. Firstly it has luminous marking in all the correct places EXCEPT on the compass needle so makes it tricky using at night as nigh on impossible to see which way the needle is pointing. Secondly the clip holding the lanyard together is a bit flimsy and there is a possibility of loosing the compass when it is hanging around your neck. I am sure he manufacturer could make a male/female coupling with threads which would be far more secure.

Works well. Is as accurate as you take the time and effort to correctly use the baseplate compass. Meets it purpose, is well constructed and cost effective.
