The TrekLine Base Baseplate Compass is a classic and essential navigation tool for basic orienteering and map work. The compass features a baseplate made from durable, transparent plastic, equipped with a built-in ruler that includes both centimeter and inch scales, facilitating easy measurement and plotting on various map types.
Distinguished by its non-liquid (dry) design, this compass operates reliably, although it requires a stable hand for readings. It includes a rotating dial (limbus) for setting bearings. For use in low light, the compass is equipped with a luminous pointer (light accumulator), providing visibility when light is scarce.
The TrekLine Base is exceptionally lightweight at just 32 g (1.13 oz) and features a neck lanyard, ensuring the compass is always readily accessible and convenient to use while navigating.
