{"product_id":"pocket-compass","title":"Pocket Compass, Flip-Top Hiking Compass with Magnetic Declination Adjustment, No Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pocket compass is a flip-top outdoor compass with magnetic declination adjustment, built as a simple hiking compass for trails, camping trips and day walks. It has an ABS body in transparent white and needs no battery, so it works when your phone or GPS does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flip-top design opens for use and closes to protect the compass when it is in a pocket or pack. Magnetic declination adjustment lets you correct for the difference between magnetic north and true north where you are hiking. That is a feature many people look for in a good hiking compass. The supplier describes it as multi-functional, but does not list the individual functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to set up or charge. Open the lid, set your local declination, and take your bearing. It is purely non-electric. The number of compasses you receive depends on the option you choose, and the supplier does not state the exact size or weight, so check the selected option before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"yhd-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks without power\u003c\/strong\u003e: there is no battery to die or replace, so it is ready whenever you reach for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeclination correction\u003c\/strong\u003e: you can adjust for your local magnetic declination, which helps your bearings match your map more closely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtected when closed\u003c\/strong\u003e: the flip-top lid covers the compass while it travels in a pocket or backpack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight plastic body\u003c\/strong\u003e: ABS keeps the compass simple and easy to carry as a backup on any hike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: the option you select sets how many compasses you get, which is handy for sharing or keeping a spare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"yhd-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhd-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOperation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlip the lid open, hold the compass level, and read the heading.
