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.

This item was purchased as a gift. I read the reviews and checked it out once it arrived. It seems to be well made.

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).

Price was right. I needed something to point north. This does the job. Replaces a similar compass I had for twenty years.
