The compass comes with a scale card and distance lanyard. The scale card is great for calculating the avalanche risk and working out how difficult your trek will be. Using the scale, you can also work out how much extra distance the slope will result in. The distance lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which facilitates measuring the distance of your hike. It’s soft and flexible which means it can be easily placed directly onto your map.

Expedition Global features DryFlex grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k and GPS scales. The baseplate has a curved-up back-end for a perfect fit in the hand, magnifying lens and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier – when activated in light the luminous markings and graduation ring enable night time navigation. The red/black north south lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.
