TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass - Advanced Scout Compass for Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking - Best Survival Gifts for Kids

I purchased this for a homeschooling project to do with my five kids. I needed a compass quickly, and saw the positive reviews and went for it. I absolutely love that it has a string. This made it simple for my four year old son to hang on his neck and keep close on our nature walk. It was very simple to use and has a nice, big and easy to read orienting lines, arrow, and magnetic needle. It is well-built and a good value. I am planning to order more so each kid can carry one on future nature walks. It's light, portable, and very user-friendly--even for little ones. Added bonus: there's a built-in magnifying glass for spotting creatures and nature!

We’ve used the compass to do some beginner orienteering and it has worked great! Sturdy enough for an 8-year-old Cub Scout.

Great little compass tool. Dial is harder to spin and align than expected but very nice and a great price

Very nice, works great

I've been looking for a reliable compass, haven't had one since boy scouts. This one fit the bill!

Arrived quickly. Tells me where north / south / east / west is and is all I need (does more but don't know how to use it).

Good compass.

The compass was working, but had an air bubble in the sealed unit. I sent an email to them questioning the effect on accuracy with the bubble, but received no response. Not good.

In my youth, I used a compass in the forest, but this time I needed one just to adjust my TV antenna in line with the TV transmission towers. Simply used a map for towers locator to get the coordinates, which I got from tvfool.com. This compass is perfect and not expensive. It is reliable.

I wanted a simple compass for travelling overseas and could not go past this one. It is clear, easy to read and strong enough to handle the knocks that are inevitable during travel. It is sturdy and very well made. I recommend this item highly.

We bought this very basic compass because our child watched Stranger Things and immediately decided that navigating the unknown (or at least the backyard) now required one. This compass does exactly what a compass is supposed to do: it points north. Reliably. Consistently. Our child tested it extensively by standing very still, squinting intensely, and announcing directions like they were on a secret mission. Overall it helped our child feel 87% more adventurous and 100% more serious. Sturdy, simple, and perfect for young explorers who believe orientation is a survival skill (which, in some cases, it definitely is). Would recommend — especially if your household is currently experiencing a Stranger Things phase.
