Silva Expedition Map Compass

Silva Expedition Map Compass

The Silva Expedition Map Compass is a baseplate compass built for experienced navigators who want more than a needle and a dial. At 12.7 x 6 x 1.3 cm (5.0 x 2.4 x 0.5 in) with 1-degree accuracy, it is precise enough for route planning on a Hajar Mountains traverse and durable enough for regular field use.

Features and Benefits

The slope card reads avalanche risk and terrain steepness, useful if your Hajar route climbs into rockier, steeper ground where judging the extra distance matters. A detachable scale lanyard with 1:25 and 1:50 markings works like a soft ruler you can lay straight onto the map.

Additionally, luminous markings keep the dial readable after dark, and a built-in magnetic declination adjuster means you set it once and stop correcting for it on every bearing.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Carry Silva Expedition Map Compass on a multi-day route through the Hajar Mountains, where GPS scales at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 match the maps most UAE hikers already use. The magnifying lens also helps when you are cross-checking fine detail on a printed map at camp.
