glad I didn't buy it for the whistle

By Ranked #134 - Life Jackets and Safety Gear November 6, 2008

sweet little compass. best I've ever owned.... but I haven't really owned many compasses. in fact this is the first one I will actually be using for orienteering. this things got all the features you need and seems pretty accurate and precise. don't stake your life on the safety whistle though... I tried mine out and I'd be lucky if someone in the next room could hear it.... but nobody's buying the compass for the gimmick whistle anyway.
