The Expedition compass is your best choice if you want a traditional ruler compass with many functions. The Silva Expedition compasses are for those who need more advanced use, regardless of whether you are an adventurer or use a compass as a tool in your profession.
Silva Expedition is equipped with an easy-to-grip ring, rubber feet on the underside so that the compass rests well against the map, removable neck strap with safety opening, slope card to determine how steep the terrain is, luminous markings for night navigation, magnifying glass and map scales in both millimeters and inches. On the Expedition, the Roman scales are on the base plate so you can measure distances. The scales are 1:25,000, 1:40,000 and 1:50,000. In addition, there is a built-in adjustment for magnetic misdirection (declination adjustment).
SLOPE CARD
The slope map is good both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging the terrain is. By knowing the slope, you can also judge how much longer the distance will be because of the slope. When you are in steep terrain, you must always be aware of the avalanche risk. The risk increases if the slope is more than 30 degrees and with the slope card you can more easily assess the risk.
NECK STRAP WITH SCALES
The compass has a detachable neck strap with scales that act as a ruler. The scales are 1:25 and 1:50. With the help of the neck strap, you can calculate how long your distance is. The neck strap is soft and easy to use. Place it directly on the map to quickly and easily measure the distance you have ahead of you or when planning your adventure.
