FAQ
What does MGRS 6400 mean?
MGRS uses mil-radians (6400 mils in a full circle) instead of degrees, allowing more precise angular measurements commonly used in military and tactical navigation.
Is this compass suitable for global use?
Yes. The global balanced needle works correctly in all magnetic zones worldwide without loss of accuracy.
Can I adjust magnetic declination?
Yes. The compass allows mechanical declination correction up to ±90°, adjusted using the supplied screwdriver tool on the lanyard.
Is it usable in freezing conditions?
Yes. The liquid-filled capsule is non-freezing and bubble-free across the full operating temperature range.
Is this compass electronic or magnetic?
This is a fully mechanical magnetic compass. It contains no electronics and is non-radioactive.
