Customer Rating: Summary: Difficult to read Comment: This design is difficult to read in bright sunlight mainly due to the color design. I think the Silva Ranger would have been a better choice for me. I would have upgraded but Amazon would not allow the return because of the liquid fill? Thx........ Customer Rating: Summary: Great compass, but a litte fragile Comment: I would have given this thing 5 stars but the little nobs guild on keep breaking under normal use. No problem, just a little super glue and it back to normal. But still, the rest of the unit is made solid why not the 2 little white nobs? Customer Rating: Summary: Great value excellent product. Comment: This compass is very well made, very good workmanship, all of these, together with a very good price, make for a very good purchase.
A classic example of a trusty compass, the 8040G is a mirrored map compass with easy-reading optic green baseplate. Tool-free declination adjustment makes for less confusion, and the built-in thermometer gives you knowledge most compasses do not.
