Silva compass Ranger Global is a traditional baseplate compass commonly used by hikers mountaineers, backpackers and hunters. The global needle also makes the compass flexible and possible to use all around the world.
If you are looking for a basic, yet functional compass for your outdoor adventure anywhere in the world, Ranger Global should be your choice. Ranger Global features rubber grip for easy handling and comes with a use-anywhere declination scale inside the capsule, a magnifying lens, and base plate map-measuring in mm and scales of 1:25k, 1:50k. The baseplate is curved-up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand. The red/black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier - when activated in light the luminous markings enable night time navigation. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features.
USE RANGER GLOBAL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD If you plan to use your compass in different parts of the world it is important to know that the magnetic zones will have effect on your compass. Most compasses work in only one of the world’s three zones and if you use your compass in the wrong zone it will show the wrong north. This compass model has a global needle and can be used in all three zones – you can bring it anywhere in the world.
SCALE LANYARD This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. The scale lanyard has two scales on it; 1:25, and 1:50, which makes it easier to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place directly on to your route on the map when you are out in the terrain – or when you are planning for your next adventure.
