Good compass. This is very much like the old Recta compasses, and of course Suunto bought Recta, but I wish they had kept an equivalent of the Recta DT200 which is just like this model but without the large magnifier, which I never use, and used the space for a 1:50000 romer and had a 1:25000 romer on the top and right hand edge of the baseplate instead. Romers are much more useful for UK OS maps than single scales. But it is what it is and if this is the arrangement you want, then it cannot be faulted - it works well, as it is supposed to, it is well made and 5 stars. A little stiff to move the capsule round, but that would be worth losing a half star for at most and I will give this compass the benefit of the doubt and keep the rating at 5 stars. Another peculiarity, at the time of writing, concerning this listing is that there are 2 versions - a USGS NH version for the northern hemisphere, and a metric version for the southern hemisphere. If like me you are in the northern hemisphere, which the UK is, of course, there will be a noticeable depression in the north end of the needle, meaning it points down, and needs the compass to tilt in order to move freely. It may be useful to have a choice but it would have been nice to have had the choice of a metric version for the Northern hemisphere, so buyers need to take care with the labelling - "SH means southern hemisphere and NH means northern hemisphere.
