Navigate with confidence

The Highlander Scout Sighting Compass packs proper navigation features into a compact, affordable package. A sighting line and mirror let you take accurate bearings on distant landmarks, while meridian lines and a clear baseplate make transferring bearings to and from the map straightforward.

Built-in map tools

A magnifying lens helps you read fine detail and grid references, and printed romer scales cover the common 1:25000, 1:50000 and 1:63360 map ratios used across OS and similar mapping. It is a genuinely useful workflow for anyone learning or practising land navigation.

Ready when the light fades

Luminous markings aid navigation at dusk or in poor visibility, so a bearing set in daylight is still readable as conditions close in. The compass reads in degrees, so note it is not intended for military personnel who work in mils.

Pocketable and always to hand

At just 52 grams and folding flat, it slips into a pocket and comes with a neck lanyard for quick access on the move. A great pick for hikers, cadets and Duke of Edinburgh groups. Browse more outdoor and tactical gear to round out your kit.

What are the romer scales for?

The printed romer scales match common map ratios (1:25000, 1:50000 and 1:63360), letting you read off grid references accurately on OS and similar maps.

Can I use it in low light?

Yes. It has luminous markings to aid night-time navigation, along with a magnifying lens for reading fine map detail in poor light.

How do I carry it?

It folds flat to pack neatly into a pocket and comes with a neck lanyard so you can keep it to hand on the trail. It weighs just 52 grams.

Is it good for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions?

Yes. Its sighting line, romer scales and clear baseplate make it a capable, affordable choice for DofE, cadets and beginner navigators learning map and compass work.
