## Questions & Answers

**Q: The photo and "color" or model don't seem to match. the "nh metric" shows miles and inches in the photo. is this correct? i want the mile/inch version**
A: Welcome to the murky world of sizing up compasses. I had trouble shopping too. The photo doesn't match my 30L, and there's no metric scale. On the left is inches. On the top is miles in 1:50,000 scale. On the right is miles in 1:24,000 scale. I like my compass and would recommend it. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can you get rid of the silly (i.e. breakable) lanyard snap clip and tie the lanyard (or a piece of paracord) directly to the compass?**
A: I have the snap clip on mine and it will take a lot of pull to get the clip to release. This is a safety feature and I would not disconnect it. Either that or use a cord that will break if an accident does happen. Your life is worth more than a thirty dollar compass.

**Q: Does it come with basic instructions?**
A: It comes with more than just basic instructions, there is a complete User Guide.

**Q: Is the compass for northern or southern hemisphere ?**
A: The one that I bought is for the northern hemisphere.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality compass
*by D***I on August 8, 2025*

Excellent compass

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performed well on trip to Bronze Age site
*by L***S on July 20, 2024*

This was a gift for my wife, who went on a tour of Northern Scotland, where she wanted to measure the directions faced by several portions of the Cairns of Clava, a Bronze Age burial site. The compass was delivered on time, the day before she left. She reports that it functioned well, and she was able to obtain the measurements that she wanted. When I examined the compass before she left, it seemed to function well, and to be straightforward to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to compass
*by D***K on February 19, 2025*

Suunto has a reputation for quality and this compass does not disappoint, light weight, durable, scale markings and magnifier allow it to be used equally well on the map table and on the trail, very accurate, readings match electronic compass exactly, fluid stabilization keeps the needle steady on the move, dial turns easily and holds in place, the large numbers with glow in the dark make it easy to read night or day, this is my go-to compass
