Field compasses in general:Mechanical compasses have been working as the navigator since several thousands of years.

Still today magnetic compass is environmentally friendly, cheap and the most reliable tool when choosing the course.

The oldest Suunto field compasses, which are still in use, are manufactured in 1938.

A high quality field compass hardly needs any other service than washing in fresh water from time to time.

The compass works without any external power supply.

The compass gets its power from nature - from the magnetic north pole.

COMPASS BALANCING:Global Balancing System:The vertical intensity and direction of the earths magnetic field, the inclination, influences the horizontal plane of a compass needle according to the latitude where it is used.

Due to inclination, compasses must be balanced for different geographical zones in order to keep the needle in a horizontal position.
