Silva Ranger Global US liquid-filled baseplate compass — with mirror sighting, scale, lanyard, and magnifier. Global needle balance for worldwide use.
The Silva Ranger Global US is a full-featured mirror sighting compass with global needle balance — it works accurately anywhere in the world, not just in the Northern Hemisphere. Includes scale for map work, magnifier for reading fine map detail, lanyard for secure carry, and declination adjustment. The mirror sighting system allows you to sight a landmark and read the bearing simultaneously for precise long-distance navigation.
Standard compasses are balanced for either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere — a Northern Hemisphere compass used in South America or Australia will have a needle that drags on the housing and gives inaccurate readings. The Ranger Global's globally balanced needle works accurately anywhere on earth, making it the right choice for international travelers and expeditions. Mirror sighting and declination adjustment provide the precision needed for serious backcountry navigation.
Ideal for: International travelers, expedition members, and serious backcountry navigators who need a compass that works accurately worldwide. See also the Ranger 2.0 Quad (SIL035) for North America-specific use.
