TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass - Advanced Scout Compass for Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking - Best Survival Gifts for Kids

I purchased this for a homeschooling project to do with my five kids. I needed a compass quickly, and saw the positive reviews and went for it. I absolutely love that it has a string. This made it simple for my four year old son to hang on his neck and keep close on our nature walk. It was very simple to use and has a nice, big and easy to read orienting lines, arrow, and magnetic needle. It is well-built and a good value. I am planning to order more so each kid can carry one on future nature walks. It's light, portable, and very user-friendly--even for little ones. Added bonus: there's a built-in magnifying glass for spotting creatures and nature!

We’ve used the compass to do some beginner orienteering and it has worked great! Sturdy enough for an 8-year-old Cub Scout.

Cheap but good as a backup to my military compass. No, I don't take my $800 phone out into the woods with me.

I've been looking for a reliable compass, haven't had one since boy scouts. This one fit the bill!

Great quality - don't get fooled by the low price. It's fantastic, clear, easy to use, and -- most importantly -- accurate! I love this great tool.

I got this compass and a paper map for our trip to Yellowstone. As some of you may know, there is no internet connection in national parks. It worked great. The trip would not have been as smooth without this compass.

Arrived quickly. Tells me where north / south / east / west is and is all I need (does more but don't know how to use it).

It is decent, I would love for it to have a RED SHED DOGHOUSE style pointer like the Suunto. Not bad for a back up compass. Hard to see the tick marks between the degrees if you have bad eyes
