Map Compass

Professional map compasses built to British military standards. From Silva-type baseplate compasses to prismatic marching compasses, discover navigation tools proven by UK forces, mountain rescue and outdoor professionals.

Essential kit for British hillwalking, orienteering and expedition navigation. All models feature OS grid reference tools and magnetic variation adjustment for UK use.

How to Choose the Right Map Compass

Selection depends on navigation requirements. British hillwalking demands baseplate compasses with 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 romer scales for Ordnance Survey maps. Mountain navigation requires luminous markings and sturdy construction.

Professional use benefits from prismatic sighting compasses with degree accuracy. Teaching and DofE groups need clear baseplate models with declination adjustment. Consider British magnetic variation - currently 2° west, decreasing annually.
