FAQs
How do I use the map measuring scales?
Align the edge of the compass with the distance on your map. Use the appropriate scale (1:25K, 1:50K, 1:63K, mm, or inches) to measure the distance and determine the real-world equivalent.
What should I do if the needle doesn't point north?
Make sure you are away from any metal objects or electrical sources, which can interfere with the compass. If this does not work the compass may be damaged. Check the area for any strong magnetic fields.
How do I clean the compass?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the compass clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the acrylic.
What is the magnifying lens for?
The magnifying lens helps you see fine details on the map, such as contour lines, place names, and other small features.
Can I use the compass in extreme weather conditions?
The Karrimor Compass is durable, but prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures should be avoided. Store the compass in a pocket or bag to protect it from extreme heat or cold.
What is the warranty on the Karrimor Compass?
