    I didnt know much about using a compass and have always stayed close to the maintained trails but a compass and topo are important for off trail hiking/backpacking and i was glad i got it it gave me the basics to take to an outdoor navagation class at my local REI. I didnt want to show up with nothing and i didnt have to have someone looking over my shoulder to make sure i wasnt getting the basics!

    This company is from the UK. They state they ship from DL, makeing you think this is Del. USA. It is Del. UK. I buy from the USA when I can. It takes longer to ship from Del. UK than Del. USA. It should be plain if a company is from the UK or USA.Do not misslead us.
