Review: Standard Compass Is Outstanding -- But Price Fluctuations Are Ridiculous! - I have two Silva compasses, and I ordered Coughlan's Standard Map Compass as an inexpensive alternative for my grandkids. I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as my Silva compasses, but I was happy to discover that I was wrong! Coughlan's Standard is absolutely outstanding in build quality, simplicity, accuracy, and durability, and I expect it to last for years. But I don't understand the significant price fluctuations over a period of about ten days. In early September 2023, it was a little over six dollars. A week later, it was less than five, and it was at that point that I bought four of them. I was so happy with it, I was planning to buy a couple more, but the price had gone up to over ten dollars! It started at 6.50, then 4.75, then 10.50. Or in terms of percentages, there was a 27% decrease followed by a 120% increase. Meanwhile Coughlan's DELUXE Map Compass is just over six dollars. This is just plain nuts! I guess I'll have to upgrade to the Deluxe version if I want to save money! One final note: Throw away the "directions" that come with the compass. Apparently they were written in French and very poorly translated into English. Even allowing for the language differences, they are needlessly complex, thoroughly confusing, and just plain wrong in places. "Be Expert With Map and Compass" by Bjorn Kjellstrom (3rd ed.) is a good introduction to using a compass.
Review: Quality compass, good price - Wanted a good compass like I had once, but had lost. This one's a quality design, works right when used correctly. Similar one I had years ago was made in US, but a nice bonus is that this is made in the free country of Taiwan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love This Well-Priced Compass
*by R***S on April 26, 2024*

Anyone who ventures outside their home for any distance requires a compass. This one is great. The directions state that you must not use it near your electronic devices it won't work correctly. I first used it inside my home and it did not point to north. I left my home and walked outside my door and...it immediately pointed to north. I LOVE this new compass. I won't be getting lost if it's with me. This one is REALLY NICE and comes with excellent instructions.
