  'DOES WHAT YOU NEED IT TO'
Strengths: Low cost, easy to use, sufficiently accurate for purpose
Weaknesses: Not as large a base as some others
Overall: A fantastic piece of kit that everyone should have. Realistically most of us aren't going to need the random other features compasses seem to have - with just this basic model and a knowledge of navigation you should ba able to navigate with exceptional accuracy. Far better to buy this low cost model and spend the money saved on a book teaching how to use it properly than waste money on more expensive and often more cumbersome models. Having said that be sure to buy a Silva - cheaper brands just aren't as reliable or durable when you need them to be.
