Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the navigation compass. Some mention that it's very accurate, and the needle seems to move smoothly. However, others say that it is highly inaccurate and would lead to many people getting lost. The needle falls on one side and doesn't turn correctly when you move the comPASS. It's made of cheap plastic and is impossible to set accurate bearings.

COMPLETE JUNK, DO NOT BUY!

COMPLETE JUNK, DO NOT BUY!
I bought this compass to test the quality of a cheap compass so I could teach Orienteering. The results were HORRIBLE! The compass was highly inconsistent in my hands and would never go back to the same place as I turned back around both inside and outside my home. So I put it to the test. Check out my pictures. I am not a geomagnetic expert, but there is surly not 10-degrees of variance in my home only 12 inches apart! The compass is highly inaccurate and would lead to many people getting lost for sure. I hoped I found a cheap alternative to teach 10 youth orienteering in Trail Life, but no way. If I can't get a good read at my own house, no way I trust it in the woods!On top of the junk readings, the compass is "Water Resistant" because it is junk plastic with no quality of build. I know it's under $10, but this thing probably cost $0.10 to press. There is no declination adjustment and the "high speed magnetic needle" has the accuracy of my 10-year old telling me the directions. Wasted my money, and my time. It will be returned. The only, and I mean ONLY good thing is it comes with an adjustable lanyard.In summary, DO NOT BUY THIS COMPASS! Go buy Suunto A-30 and spend the money for a compass you can learn with and will last you for many years, not minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, Simple to Use, Points North - What's not to Like?
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020
Needed an inexpensive, waterproof, low profile compass with a rotating bearing bezel to mount on the console of my kayak as emergency backup for my GPS. Didn't think I could get that for 7 bucks, but this little map compass seems to fill the bill. Appears to be well made, needle floats freely, bezel rotates smoothly, facing & pointer are large enough for good visibility while I'm paddling. See pic of this compass mounted to my kayak's console with just a nylon tie strap thru the base plate cutouts. I'm very satisfied with this product so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Quality Control at All
Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2021
The northside of compasses' needle is the red side, the side that points to the North. As can be seen in the photos, the white side is pointing to the North, that is, the compass is pointing to the South. Ridiculous! To make things worse, the needle is unbalanced. The needle is pointing downwards to what should be the southside. The needle gets stuck if not inclined. It is crap.
