Navigation you can trust

The Kombat UK Military Map Compass is a practical, affordable baseplate compass built for real map work. Graduated in both mils and degrees, it suits UK Armed Forces and Cadet Forces navigation as well as hillwalkers and expedition teams who want a dependable tool without a premium price tag.

Made for OS maps

Three sets of map roamers cover 1:25000, 1:50000 and 1:63360 scales, so you can plot grid references quickly and accurately across the most common Ordnance Survey and military maps. Rulers in both millimetres and inches round out the baseplate for precise measuring.

Field-friendly design

Lightweight and easy to grip even with gloves on, it is comfortable to use in cold, wet conditions where fiddly instruments let you down. A lanyard is included so it stays secure and ready to hand around your neck or clipped to your kit.

Ideal for training and expeditions

From cadet field craft to Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, this is a reliable starter and back-up compass. Explore more field and survival kit in our tactical range.
