The Rothco Military Marching Compass with LED Light is made for the end of the day on the trail, when the light is going and you still need to check the dial against your map. The integrated LED light lets you read it in low light, and the built-in magnifying glass helps you get an accurate reading.

A side ruler works with your map's scale to measure distances, a thumb hold keeps orientation steady, and the heavy-duty aluminum cast case is made for rugged terrain.

Why it works:

  • Reading the dial in low light: Check your heading at dusk or under heavy tree cover by its own light. The integrated LED light is built in for low-light reading.
  • A closer look at the markings: See fine markings clearly before you commit to a direction. A built-in magnifying glass is there for accurate readings.
  • Measuring distance on the map: Measure distances and plot your route on paper. The side ruler is designed to work with your map's scale.
  • Steady in the hand: Hold a steady orientation while you take a reading. A thumb hold provides stability for precise orientation.
  • Holds up on rough ground: Pack it for rugged terrain and harsh conditions. The heavy-duty aluminum cast case is designed for durability outdoors.
