Compass Plus - Utility Review: Basic Navigation Tool with Limitations

Boris Weber

07/20/2025

Compass Plus offers a simple compass utility for navigation, but user feedback indicates inaccuracies in its compass functionality.

The majority of individuals are familiar with the basic concept of using a compass to determine the direction of north. However, few possess the skills necessary to utilize it effectively as a navigation instrument. Mastering navigation with a compass and map is a fundamental competency for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers. This particular compass transcends the typical simple north indicator; it is designed to serve as a comprehensive orientation tool for hiking and outdoor navigation activities.

To maximize its utility, users should learn proper techniques for compass utilization and ensure they carry it at all times during outdoor excursions. Please note that the device’s proper functioning requires an integrated compass sensor.

Key features include:

Functionality for precise orientation
Ideal for camping, hiking, and various outdoor pursuits
High-definition graphics for clarity
Concise, step-by-step usage instructions

The compass offers several advanced features:

Rotating bezel for accurate alignment
Rotatable orienting arrow for ease of use
Adjustable magnetic declination setting
Fine-tuning capabilities for both the rotating bezel and orienting arrow
Built-in clinometer for slope measurement
