Mil-Tec Digital Compass

Heading at a Glance

The Mil-Tec Digital Compass shows your direction on an LCD screen instead of a swinging needle. It displays both the compass point (for example SE) and the bearing in degrees (for example 129), so you can read an exact heading without lining up a needle against a scale. It folds flat to hang on a cord, stands up on a desk or dash, or mounts to glass, which suits hikers, drivers and anyone who wants a quick heading check.

Features

• Digital Heading Readout — The round LCD shows the cardinal or intercardinal direction above a numeric bearing in degrees.
• Rotating Degree Bezel — A toothed ring around the screen is marked from 0 to 360 with N, E, S and W, and you can turn it to mark a bearing you want to hold.
• Four-Button Control — Separate MODE, SET, SELECT and COMPASS buttons sit below the display for switching functions and taking a reading.
• Built-In Bubble Level — A green bubble vial on the base shows when the compass is sitting flat, which helps it give a steadier reading.
• Fold-Up Display — The screen hinges up from the base so the unit stands at a reading angle on a table or dashboard, then folds flat for carrying.
• Lanyard Attachment Point — A loop at the top lets you wear the compass on a neck cord so it stays at hand.
• Suction Cup Mount — A twin suction cup bracket screws onto the top fitting with a knurled knob for fixing the compass to a windshield or other smooth surface.
• Compact Black Housing — The glossy black body is small enough to hold in one hand and fits easily in a pocket or glovebox.

Carry and Mounting

You can use this compass three ways: hanging around your neck on a cord, standing on its fold-out base, or stuck to glass with the suction mount. The bubble level on the base helps whichever way you set it up, since a compass reads best when held flat. Mil-Tec built it as a simple everyday heading tool, with clear lettering on the bezel and buttons labeled in plain English.
