C400 sighting compass - khaki

What is a sighting compass?

Identical to a baseplate compass, this type of compass has a sighting glass for reading the compass and viewing the target to be reached.This model has a protective casing to protect the compass during intensive activities.

Make sure the compass is flat when using it:

Your compass must be flat to detect magnetic north correctly. For example, place your compass in the palm of your hand. When using a map, place the compass on the map on a flat surface.

What if your compass loses its bearings?

Use your compass away from magnetic sources or it could lose its bearings: high-voltage power lines, mobile phones, keys, metal objects, etc. Even another compass might affect the direction!

Oil bath - yes or no?

Rest assured: all Geonaute compasses are filled with viscous oil to ensure optimal performance.
