Compass Summary|Articles|Products|Discussions|Start a discussion For navigating using a map and compass, you can't beat the classic baseplate-type compasses. Anything without a baseplate makes mapwork less accurate. Electronic compasses are fine for following bearings, but for mapwork, the original, simple Silva design is still the best. They usually include features such as 1:25 000 and 1:50 000 scales, a magnifying lens, and a luminous needle to help out on those night time jaunts. Buyers' Guides - Navigation All the basics on navigation kit from the humble map to the joys of GPS and mapping software in vaguely comprehensible terms...  ARTICLES   1 to 1 of 1 related article.  Big Time Multi-Functionality Meet the Silva comedy compass that's also a bottle-opener, windscreen scraper, pan scourer, box lever and loads more besides. - 23/7/04
