Worth spending a little more to buy from a reliable brand. Review: Decent low cost compass - My son needed a compass for Scouts as they do a lot of map reading and navigation. I tried a cheap one thinking it would be ok, but was rather dismayed at the time and care needed for the needle to settle and even then it often seemed to catch on the body of the compass when changing direction. Just not accurate enough. This little Silva was almost double the price but well worth it! It reads confidently, the needle doesn't stick and is well-damped. It is easy to sight and stays stable when moving. Markings are clear and useful. A simple, compact and great little basic compass. ## Features - Silva Classic is an entry-level compass designed for schools, youth groups, and leisure outdoor navigators. - Equipped with a base plate map-measuring in mm and scales of 1:50k and 1:25k, compatible with most maps. - The compass include a detachable safety-release lanyard.

There is no bubble in the casing and the needle swings very freely. There is no damping, as you might expect if it was moving through liquid. **Q: Is this compass made of clear plastic?** A: Yes it is made of clear plastic so you can see the map details beneath it. **Q: Seller: is needle and the north, south, east & west points luminous (for night navigation)? if not, is there a different one that is?** A: This compass as fore as I know does not have a luminous bit on the needle. The Silva 4 Militaire - 6400/360 compass has a luminous bit on the North needle. **Q: thought this had magnifier but it doesn’t seem to. Does anyone know which next model Silva compass has a magnifier pls** A: Hi there, the best options for a baseplate compass with incorporated magnifier are either the Ranger or the Expedition 4. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect small compass for hikes *by A***Y on 19 January 2026* Clear and easy to read compass that provides sufficient accuracy for map reading whilst hiking.
