I'm a retired Land Surveyor that develops Land Navigation Courses for Search & Rescue Units. I use a 10 yrs old KB-14 360 degree alum compass in two different ways. First is with a Jacob Staff, but the best way is with an old wood & brass tripod, used when checking the Suunto MC-2 compass that are used by the local Search & Rescue units in Washington State.

Best hand-held sighting compass on the market. I purchased it several years ago and had several of its predecessor models since 1973. I was once worried about going with the G (global) model. The card is more heavily center balanced. While there is some card tilting at 49 deg N, Suunto placed the ultimate touch into this model. On the card there is a HORIZONTAL line (ring) which is placed at the level of the pivot. So the rumb (lubber) line indicates the reading at intersecting this horizontal line, killing a few minutes of error out of the reading at high latitudes. WOW! Use the KB360-14 in conjunction with a good mapping GPS (Garmin 750T) to sight and identify mountains and other features far away. Accurate sighting does take practice with reduction of eye parallax error. Use it in "Boy Scout" mode just looking down on the card. I've put in a post which swivels on the 1/4 - 20 mount and contacts your head to reduce motion- Almost as good as using a tripod. GREAT COMPASS

The perfect companion for a timber cruise and now for cross country backpacking. It will always bring you home. But get the rubber case for winter work!

I have had one of these for 20 years and recently broke the glass casing on it. It was always true and led me in the right direction. It was the envy of all my Surveyor friends. Accurate and durable. Highly recommend to anyone in the Land Surveying or Forestry profession.
