Product Description

 {Summary}

A compass designed for worldwide use.

Vital to the traveller but little known is that a compass needle dips varying amounts depending on latitude. The dip known as inclination will prevent a normal compass bought in the UK from working properly in, amongst other places, Australia, South America and most of Africa. Until recently manufacturers have had to make different compasses for different parts of the world.

The Recta Global system overcomes this and will work reliably anywhere in the world.

Customer Reviews

This is simply a great compass
This compass has many useful features (all of which are very practical) and feels sturdy. At this price you could probably only buy the DT 120 model elsewhere.

ideal product for fell running and orienteering
I found this to be a great compass for fell running the dial is easy to manoever and bearings can easily be read. I could not find this cheaper anywhere else
