Compasses: Find Your Way Safely and Accurately
Compasses are essential navigation tools that help determine cardinal points and direction. Their reliability has earned them the trust of hikers, orienteers, and adventurers over the years. Choosing the right compass ensures safe and smooth hiking in the forest and beyond.
How to choose the right compass?
The first step is to determine the purpose of the compass. If you’re a beginner hiker or orienteer, a simple liquid-filled compass could be the ideal choice. It’s accurate and easy to use, making it perfect for beginners.

For experienced hikers or orienteers, competition compasses may be suitable. These are specifically designed for competitive conditions, offering many extra features and precise measurements. When traveling at sea, it’s recommended to choose a compass with an included clinometer to help measure slopes and inclines.
Different types of compasses:

Ruler compasses: Suitable for map measurement and determining bearings. Freeze-resistant liquid ensures accuracy even in extreme conditions, making them ideal for long treks.
Mirror compasses: Allow for better sighting of objects and more precise direction finding. Especially suitable for orienteering and more complex conditions.
Baseplate compasses: Ideal for hiking. They feature a liquid-filled needle housing which facilitates determining the north-south direction.
