The Brunton 8040G Compass includes all the features you need for incredibly accurate backcountry navigation without a bunch of gizmos that you don't really need. Clean, simple, and accurate, the 8040G Compass has an adjustable declination, sighting mirror, and transparent base plate to make map work easier. As an added bonus, Brunton gave the 8040G a built-in thermometer to provide accurate bragging rights on dead-of-winter or heat-of-summer trips.
A classic example of a trusty compass, the 8040G is a mirrored map compass with our easy-reading optic green baseplate. Tool-free declination adjustment makes for less confusion, and the built-in thermometer gives you knowledge most compasses do not.

"Does everything I need" | |
| Rating: |  |
| This compass is great. I can now know where I am going, check out myself in the mirror and look at the temperature. What more can you ask for, Well I guess maybe for someone to carry my pack, and a nice lady to put in my sleeping bag, but other then that what more could you ask for. Thanks Moosejaw you guys are always the best. | |

"A bit large, but a great compass for the price." | |

| Ever since I took my sons geocaching in the dark woods near our home without knowing how my new GPS receiver works in the cold rain, no less and got a bit misplaced, I'd been wishing for a good compass to take along. This one does just the job. It's bulkier than most, but I carry it around my neck anyway. | |

"Good, Sturdy Compass" | |
| Rating: | |
| This is one sturdy compass. This thing is really big. Everything on it works like it should. The mirror is also great for helping to put contact lenses in. The thermometer is kind of lame though. | |

This is a very good compass for the price. There are some nicer ones on the market, but for the price this one has all the features you could want. | |

"Great value" | |
| Rating: | |
| Good quality for the price. Has everything you need for compass navigation. The mirror is big enough to use for shaving if you want to. | |

Perfect for a no frills compass. It's exactly what I need it for: show me what direction I'm facing. Works like a charm. | |

| Does everything I need it to. I like the clear base and the sighting mirror. Wouldn't trust the thermometer though. | |

"It's just a compass right?" | |

"I think it's a good one..." | |
| Rating: |  |
| My first compass with mirror, so much bigger/builkier than I'm used to. Love the thermometer. The directions were confusing, and there were no directions on how to use the slope indicator. I know how to use a compass in general, but I needed to know how to use THIS compass. Hopefully it will stand up to SAR abuse. | |

"Samll one same design . Please!!!" | |
| Rating: | |
| When I received this compass, I shocked because of its size. Too big, I think. I hope Brunton make it small. The needles move very fast. If Brunton make same design small one, I 'd like to exchange mine. | |
