>>1341361>>1341798>>1342346A compass does not just "point north" to be effective a compass needs to have a very accurate scale and overall good quality. Thats why the suunto mc2 global for instance is top notch, its affordable, works everywhere on earth because its a global compass and it will bring you where you want if you know how to use it. People who say shit like "look at the stars" clearly have no idea about the tasks of a compass (also i think these people dont know anything about navigation in general) the suunto can also
Show you the tilt angle of hills etc. I needed to learn how to calculate whole areas just with thehelp of a compass. So if you dont know how to use one, fine, but dont act like its an unnecesary tool, like those 26 knives you guys are carriying around
