Compass?

Barney · 12-30-2009, 07:47 AM

Are there any good manufacturers of compasses? I already have some old compass that I've been using for years but now I need a new one and this just crossed my mind.

I just searched for some compasses online and it appears there the price goes from $5 to $150. Such broad range shows that there is a lot of differences in available features. But what features a compass can have, really? Does anyone knows, I'm very much intrigued?

I believe it all comes down to how accurate is the compass. I am pretty sure mine is not much accurate, so I would like to find out from some experienced compass user which model is good. A direct product recommendation would be nice.
