Good compass | |
| Rating: |  |
| Great compass... I highly recommend it. Far better than the others in same price class. It is definitely worth paying the extra couple of bucks. I use this compass everyday for work and have been very happy with it. Tried a couple of others and ended up returning them because they just didn't cut it. The only issue I have with it so far is that after a month of frequent use the numbers on the dial and edges have started to rub off. A quick and easy solution to this problem is to put a layer of clear nail polish on when you first get it. Most people probably won't have this problem, but then again I use it for work and it gets a lot more wear and tear than the average user would put on it. Still the best compass for the price. | |

| Ok, Let's get down to it... most outdoor enthusiast usually will buy a GPS not a Compass. Which is one reason people get lost and we are called to find them. So I urge people that are doing any type of outdoor adventure to buy a compass along with their GPS. GPS's can fail they are electronics devices that require electrical power. Know to get down to the review. This is a very accurate compass, it has an adjustable declination, and incline indicator, easy to read back azimuth, glow in the dark bezel and some rulers as well. The small size is very affective for storage anywhere on one's person. Remember to print out a map on were your going and keep it on you just in case. | |

| As a geologist and outdoorsperson, I've used many compasses over the years, Brunton, Nexus, Silva and Suunto. The MC 2G is the only baseplate compass I've used that has the same sighting hole at the base of the mirror that geologist's pocket transits have. This is a brilliant feature. It makes it far easier to obtain an azimuth. I don't use a compass at night but I do find the black on white of the luminous bezel easier to read than the usual white on black. Easily the best baseplate compass available. | |
