Don’t set off without a compact and reliable compass that can be used in poor lighting conditions, like the A-30 Compass from Suunto.
This compass features a high-grade steel needle with jewel bearing and has a hardy baseplate. The magnifying lens makes it easy to use with a map, and the luminescent markings make it easy to navigate in low light conditions. The A-30 is also balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, has a fixed declination correction scale, metric scales, and a liquid filled capsule for stable operation.
It also comes with an easy to detach snap lock lanyard for convenience. Navigate with accuracy, and in low light environments with the A-30 Compass from Suunto.
What does 'Balanced for Southern Hemisphere' mean? Can I use it overseas, eg UK?

G'day Stan,
No, you cant. This compass is calibrated for use in the Southern Hemisphere only. If you're wanting to use it internationally you'd be needing a "globally balanced" compass.
