UST Hi Vis Lensatic Map Compass

Military Compass for use with a Topographical Map

The UST Hi Vis Lensatic Map Compass is used to orient oneself when reviewing a map. The hand-held navigation tool helps you to get your bearings and to navigate the right route. This is essential when traveling and exploring in the wilderness as electronic devices can and will fail. This is even true for GPS devices, thus it is important to carry a military compass with you, when hiking, if nothing else as just backup for the just-in-case moments. This Hi Vis Lensatic Map Compass features a compact design, which takes up minimal space in one's bag or pack. There is also a lanyard for attaching the device to your wrist, while in use.

Easy to Master

It is important to become familiar with this style of navigation tool, prior to use. To operate the lensatic compass, first you must be able to take a compass bearing. To do this, simply open the navigation tool so that the cover is at a 90° angle and the lens bracket is at 30° to the case. Raise the compass to eye level and line up the sight wire with an object in the distance. Read the course bearing in both degrees and in mils. Once this step is complete, it is now time to set a course. First, open the lensatic compass entirely. Next, place the tool on a level map with the bearing directly under the index line. Finally, hold the compass in place while you rotate the bezel until the luminous indicator is over the north arrow. The final step is to follow your course. Again, it is important to practice and to be familiar with this or any navigation tool, prior to your adventure. This UST Hi Vis Lensatic Map Compass is an easy-to-use and accurate tool to help you find your way.
