Review: Finnish Made! - Finnish made quality, accuracy, and durabilty.
Review: Great compass, easy to use - Exactly what I ordered. This is a great compass for beginners. It comes with an instruction manual and a lanyard. I still recommend that you do some research on how to use a compass and map beecause there is something called declination. Declination is the angle difference between north on your compass and north on a map. You have to adjust for this when you want go from point A to point B using a map. This compass makes it easy to adjust for the declination/angle difference. Note: Some compasses let you set the declination once so you don't have to keep adjusting it. This compass does not have that feature. However, its still an amazing compass. To know the declination of the area you'll be traveling in simply type it into google. For example, type in " What is the declination of Yosemite". If it says +13.00 degrees turn your compass counterclockwise 13.00 degrees. If it says -13.00 degrees turn your compass clockwise 13.00 degrees. To adjust for the 13.00 degrees use the red markings on the inside of the compass. Do not use the outside black degree markings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland. They make the best Compasses.
*by D***D on August 11, 2023*

Suunto Oy is a Finnish company that manufactures and compasses and precision instruments. Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland. Considered by some to be the best compasses makers. In my opinion only Siva and Suunto make reliable compasses. There are a few companies that make compasses for the military but expect to pay a lot more. In the back woods away from civilization a reliable compass is a must. Trusting a compass bearing may make a difference in getting back to your Tent. Being Lost is no fun.
