SILVA Expedition 360 Global Compass
Includes a Free Grid Reference Tool
Mirror sighting compasses are more accurate than base plate compasses, especially over long distances and in open terrain. Best suited to experienced users, SAR responders and other professionals who require pinpoint precision.
This compass features easy-handling housing, silicon rubber feet for precision map work, detachable safety-release scale lanyard, night-enabling luminous markings, magnifying lens, map-measuring scales in mm or inches and GPS scales 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 – plus built-in adjuster for magnetic declination (including permanent local adjustment). The Expedition S can also map-measure 1:40,000 and it comes with a clinometer for measuring slope angle and 45-degree angle assistance on the mirror-sighting function.
In addition to the free SR GRT you will also receive:
Slope Card
The slope card is great both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. Always take caution in steep terrain. The risk of avalanches increase if the slope is steeper than 30 degrees. The slope card will help you detect this risk. For use in the northern hemisphere only.
Scale Lanyard
This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. The scale lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which makes it easier to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place directly on to your route on the map when you are out in the terrain – or when you are planning for your next adventure.
