A compass is a navigational instrument that enables you to find directions on the Earth. compasses consist of a magnetised pointer which moved to align itself accurately with the Earth's magnetic field. The cardinal compass points are north, south, east and west. Compasses are mostly enclosed with liquid compass in which a needle floats. Any instrument with a magnetised bar or a needle turning freely upon a pivot and pointing in a northerly and southerly direction can be considered a compass. Our compasses are made by one of the leading international manufacturers, Silva. They are a hard wearing yet easy to use compass. Compasses are used by a wide range of people including marine, hikers, walkers, education and the military. You can buy small compasses to fit on your existing watch or highly professional compasses which are accurate to 0.5 degrees! Whatever the use, we stock a wide range of compasses, if you cannot find the compass you need, phone or email us and we will be pleased to help you.
