Silva Expedition Global Compass
If you need a compass with high-end features that you can use anywhere in the world, the Expedition Global should be your first choice. The compass comes with a piste map and a distance band.
The different magnetic zones around the world have an effect on compasses. Many only work in one of the three zones. With the Expedition Global you don't have to worry about zones as it has a global needle and can be used anywhere in the world.
Slope map
The slope map is useful for both identifying avalanche danger and determining the challenge of your run. If you know the gradient, you can also estimate any extra distance you will have to cover because of the gradient. The avalanche risk increases when the slope is steeper than 30 degrees. The slope map helps you to recognise this risk.
Scale lanyard
This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. The scale lanyard has two scales; 1:25 and 1:50, making it easier to measure the distance of your walk. Because it's soft and pliable, it's easy to place directly on your route on the map when you're busr in the field - or when you're planning your next adventure.
